The Feds own most of the land.

See chart "Federal Land as a Percentage of Total State Land Area"

Sure, and they rent it out for grazing, mining. Still nothing like 'unspoiled'.
Personally I don't necessarily care much about "unspoiled". I just wish there was a place I could legally go without paying tribute to the world machine and be free from outside interference with my mere existence.

EDIT: In fact living in a world where such a simple act is not possible isn't a bad definition of hell in my opinion.

Well, there's all that federal land, right?

Personally I just walk out my door - I have 80 acres of rolling hills, trees, occasional waterways, deer, pheasant and miscellaneous critters. Bought by selling my quarter-acre in San Jose and relocating.
