Re that road. I stopped using that road six years ago. It had gotten very scary then. I can imagine what it is like now. It is not really a fire road, but an old logging road that led to this remote camping/hunting/fishing area above the Klamath River.

As part of the Clinton/Gore green agenda, you make sure that no matching funds get out to repair these roads. In a few years, they become death traps, and then they get closed. Then the roadless agendas of the Green Jihadists win in another area.

"It is not really a fire road, but an old logging road that led to this remote camping/hunting/fishing area above the Klamath River."

Most fire access roads start out as logging roads. That's one of the things environazis were incorporating into their "roadless policy" propaganda early on. After the 2000 wildfire season, the environazi propaganda concentrated on 4x4's, snowmobiles and ATV's.

Those "Roadless policies" have guaranteed that many of these roads stopped recieving maintainance many years ago. After twenty years of no maintainance, you can find your best timber growing in the middle of an old logging road.

Partly for this reason, on State land in PA and NY, the minimum length of the resulting stumps from logging has been reduced from 12 to 16 inches to only 6 inches...so that firefighters in a hurry could drive their pickups over them without hanging their pumpkins up on the stumps.

Workers for the PA Conservation Department spend most of their time keeping old logging roads clear for fire access. Those are some reasons why we don't have those types of fires here in PA. Also, out forests and our timber are plenty healthy, WITHOUT massive burns. You can tell the "But fire makes forests healthier" environazis that.
