<br />B-19 <br /> <br /> <br />002736 <br /> <br />,',.,," !1 <br /> <br />Mr. Pfulb. Well, actually one reason it is a fairly handy size <br />to use in a meeting like this for example, carry around use in <br />connection with meetings of different kinds. Kind of forces one <br />in another way to look synoptically at all of these things instead <br />of in smaller components. You cannot easily handle the 1 to 2S0,000 <br />maps either. You can do it in the office, but just to handle it <br />as a mechanical problem is tough. So we decided to do both. The <br />1 to 2S0,000 is enough detail so that most of our inventory data <br />can be mapped accurately enough on the 1 to 2S0,000. That is the <br />scale in most cases that our field data is being expressed on. But <br />then the 1 to SOO,OOO is a convenient thing for us to use, for over- <br />lays and things like that. <br /> <br />Mr. Bunter. I would just like to point out to the Committee <br />that the California Frame Work Study is also based on 1 to 250,000 <br />scale and our inventory maps on that were done to 1 to 2S0,000. So <br />that's good from that standpoint that they are using 1 to 2S0,000. <br /> <br />Colonel Vandenberg. Carl, did you have a question? <br /> <br />Mr. Slingerland. Yes, not a very important one. But you had <br />one picture, just before you got to the schematics, near the end of <br />your slide show, I couldn't quite visualize what the surroundings <br />were, there were two people in some soft sand or something and white <br />chalk cliffs. <br /> <br />Mr. Pfulb. Ohl That was a tough one. Those were, it was <br />intended to represent a growing recreation interest in the desert, <br />hiking, exploration, in the past the desert being a waste and a <br />forbidding type of environment, in the minds of the public, before <br />this means to get there, hiking, back-packing, a wilderness experi- <br />ence if you will, simply wasn't much in demand. It has been increas- <br />ing and if we project what is happening in the National Forest and <br />what is happening to the wilderness, those designated wilderness in <br />mountains and in National Forests, we can see very clearly that <br />about the only place you can, in twenty years, you may be able to <br />have a quote wilderness experience is probably in the desert. <br />Because there just isn't going to be any left any place else. So, <br />that happened to be in the Great Falls Basin, which is a type of <br />canyon, a very interesting place. You hike up, there are some water <br />falls. I remarked, when I put that slide in, I looked at it, I <br />couldn't figure it myself, you have to kind of look at it for awhile. <br /> <br />Colonel Vandenberg. Thank you very much, Mr. Pfulb. <br /> <br />Mr. Pfulb. Thank you, I appreciated being here. <br />
