To quote the BRC website: "The BlueRibbon Coalition was born in 1987 shortly after Clark Collins, Founder and first Executive Director, was told by then Idaho Governor John Evans that recreationists were not politically significant and implied that Wilderness was more important than motorized access to public lands. Clark gathered and worked with other recreationists in a huge undertaking to educate all users of public lands in Idaho just how our resources were not being preserved FOR the public, but rather FROM the public. Thus, we have the seeds of what would ultimately become the BlueRibbon Coalition".
Imho, the BRC doesn't come close to embodying the spirit of what wandering the West is about, so I'll join the others above in declining to lend my support to the organization. I believe there was/is much truth in what Gov. Evans (allegedly) stated. Again, my $0.02, let the flames begin, hehe...
