One more thing. I'm also finding out that any roads that are near any waterways or streams will most likely be closed in the future. Streams and waterways are becoming a huge environmental priority now and a lot of logging and forest roads used to follow creeks and streams, but the government has decided, at the behest of environmentalists that roads next to streams cause harmful runoff, so they are closing them off on a regular basis. I'm running into this in my otherwise, fairly open state forest lands.

The next step and what will eventually kill off pretty much all access is that the enviros don't like fills or culverts where roads cross streams and want all of these removed. Bridges are too expensive, so in the end, the only roads that will likely remain are those that have bridges, which are usually the main thoroughfairs.

Another practice becoming more popular is building roads to access a stand of trees and then removing that road when they're done logging.

It's gonna get ugly in the next few years.
