  1. According to an Ordnance Survey study, the most remote part of Britain is 7 miles away from a tarmac road (not including tracks that allow vehicles). Given that seven miles is a comfortable walk, I don’t think that makes Britain very remote. I don’t know what the answer would be for the USA? I assume there are many more untouched areas. Something to be preserved – for definite.

  2. We used one of those roads — you know, the dirty, narrow, winding ones with the awesome views — to boondock alongside the Arkansas river for last few nights. You’d think they’d pave those things, sheeesh. And what’s with the 15MPH
    speed limit? Seriously, it was posted.

    But seriously, thanks for this post. I don’t think we need any more speed limit signs in the wilderness.
