They found traces of some rare wolverine or some other varmint. Turned out a do gooder “salted” the area to halt logging.

They used to pull this crap all the time at Vandenberg AFB when we were launching Minuteman IIIs and Peacekeepers. We would announce a test launch date and some envirowhacko would discover a least tern or snowy plover nest right near the area where we were going to do the test launch.

Funny how these weenies know just where to look every time.

Back in the mid seventies, as a grad student, I took an eye-opening class in Environmental Law.

Most of my fellow classmates roared in approval of the deceit.
