DEDICATION

This paper is dedicated first to my father, Lt. Col. Charles M. Floyd (USAF Retired), who instilled in me a love of all wilderness, especially the mountains and canyons of the American Southwest.
Secondly, I’d like to recognize the men and women of the San Gorgonio Wilderness Association, with whom I proudly serve. Without them, the special place we love and protect would be just another patch of overused forest.
