Under a dark canopy of fir trees lie a blanket of moss and decomposing needles. Scattered across this dark forest floor are hundreds of pocket gopher skulls and bones in a timeless scene only nature can create.

Thank you for posting this article. Bureaucrats have ruined our country in so many ways, and it’s time to drain the swamp.
