I have seen roads in Coconino National Forest that were closed and they
could not be walked on. that is because they ripped the road with a
dozer and cut trees down and dragged them across the road. see
attached. this causes much more impact then just simply closing the
road. Most of these roads that are closed should not be closed at all.
it is already there and driving down them does not really cause any real
harm. close a road like the picture attached and not only is it closed
to us the taxpayers but firefighters cant even get in there.
