Forest Service Plans To Blow Up Aspen Cattle

"I just found out reading up more on this story that firefighters in wilderness areas aren't supposed to even use chainsaws or bulldozers. Seems a little extreme, but I guess the normal policy is to let wilderness fires burn themselves out."

Been to Yellowstone lately

Just adds fiber to the diet...which is supposed to be good.

They did the same thing with Storm King in '96...how did that work out?

Now they are worried about asbestos:

I will confess here and now that I'm all in favor of a gratuitous explosion and the bigger the better but Good grief Charlie Brown! Drag them dead cows out of the cabin and let Ma'nature do her thing! Anything else seems like it will result in a fire in a place that is already hard to get to and would be a real challenge to fight a fire in.

I guess if common sense was so common everyone would have it...

And that is why you have to take an idiot test to get hired by the USFS.

Thank goodness for asbestos. Maybe they will eventually see some reason.

Just too easy a solution you recommend otisptoadwater.
