Where are all the environmentalist protesters like we have in the Northwest USA when there is a big fire with acres of salvageable timber. No fair. I want to see a protestor named "polecat" climb a pile of timber and chain his filthy body to it.

In the south, most of the timberlands are privately owned.

Surely you jest ;) Those trees are in stomp jumpin territory (redneck for loggers). The log trucks are full and running. They have hit the mother lode.

My cousin had a woody few acres and she has maybe 5 trees still standing. My trees did fine, but the neighbors trees took out my fence and fell in my yard. They missed the house so I'm not complaining.

An oak fell on my uncle's house and the root base was taller than the house. I'm talking huge old oaks and pines down everywhere you look. My once shady and woodsy town is too bright and sunny now. It was bad here. There's hardly any trees left.

In the South....someone would throw a match on the pile... just to make it worth his while. :)
