Mr. Chairman, may I make one very brief comment? One of the things that seems to me to be important to consider about wilderness and the need for wilderness.is that itis not the problem of establishing the physical factors so much asit is the desire and the necessity for filling the need to be able to supply individuals of our county with a. place where they can gain solitude. Basically, the wilderness experience gives the individual who is partaking of that experience an element of solitude in which he can find himself and think and develop the activities he needs to attain re-creation. Actually, rather than talking physical factors, although we want to have certain physical factors to satisfy this need, the physical factors for one individual would be quite different than is necessary for another. Wilderness and the experience of wilderness depend somewhat on the status of a man's approach to life andisa part of his mind or his thinking. In other words, the man who can go over an ocean ledge and be perhaps 100 yards from.a well-travelled highway, but with no one else on the beach and the roar of the surf drowning the sound of passing traffic can have the solitude he needs for a wilderness experience. Now this does not preclude--I wantto make surethat this is understood--the idea that we must have the classical Forest Service definition of 4 wilderness for those who need particular physical factors to gain’the elements necessary for solitude. MR. SAYLOR, Mr. Chairman, maylI say tq my friend, Mr. Orell, that almost those identical words were spoken , as to what constitutes wilderness and a wilderness experience, In fact somebody stated that if you sat in your own living room and watched television and saw somebody in’ a wilderness area either catch a fish or participate in a that person. _boat trip, it was an experience of a wilderness type for . ; ( . i Now without the basic wilderness as defined by the lake on clear winter days> when it disappeared? ~~ Some Say all the shelters were built below Donner Lake along the creek that flows from it; others say that at least one or two of them stood on the Lake shore itself. _ But, as early asin the 1860s, only a few years after the tragedy, men familiar with the locations erected a huge Cross on that exact site of one of the hunger-hovels occupied by members of the Donner Party. The Cross still stood there in the 80s and was known as the Donner Cross, Here Truckee people picnicked on summer days and met to skate and sleigh on the frozen Information, please who remembers the Cross an4 weather has been playing tricks with the secenry in Western Nevada County and elsewhere.
