In a US Wilderness Area, any form of mechanical transport is prohibited, so the AlphaDog is out. Animal transportation is regulated on a case-by-case (and area-by-area) basis, but in general, horses, llamas, and donkeys are allowed, while camels and yaks are a "maybe". Elephants would almost certainly be prohibited because of their potential to damage the "wilderness character" of the area. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
