Looking for first-hand reports...
We had one of those tripods blocking a logging road a few years back. They cut the legs a little at a time in round robin until it was shortened to the point they could grab the protester out of it destroy it.
My understanding is that the Cave Junction area is under enviro control. Also hear that there is another fire being allowed to burn in that area - the Blossom Fire. Evidently there is a media blackout on this....
