Seems ironic that the military can have such a positive influence on preser=
ving quiet places.  The quietest place that I have personally visited is De=
sert NWR, which is adjacent to the Nellis Bombing Range and the Nevada Test=
 Site.  Most of the refuge is a no-fly zone to commercial and private aviat=
ion.  The military has agreed not to fly over the refuge, as well.  I'm not=
 sure that it serves our purpose to keep quiet about our favorite quiet pla=
ces.  I think that our cause is better served by publicizing the availabili=
ty of places without human noise, so that other places that are marginally =
quiet might be made quieter with public awareness and encouragement. =0D
