"Bumperstickers?"

Yep. Well, they're the right SIZE for bumperstickers. EBUCK was making and selling them to raise money for this billboard project.

[snopercod]

...so we'll need to use some management techniques to get us out of them. Just letting things sit won't work. But letting loggers in to "thin" an area isn't necessarily the best way, either.

You're on the right track. If you haven't read Carry_Okie's Book, you might find it illuminating.

There IS a way to do it right.

"There IS a way to do it right."

RIGHT ON!! ...And I haven't even read Carry Okie's book yet...THOUGH I WILL, IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!

[Paul Atreides]

I am literally speechless! I cannot believe how great it looks!!!

[Spunky]

That is a billboard I could look at forever. :-)

Is it along Interstate 5? If not where is it located?

[EBUCK]

Along I-5 near Medford (facing south) visible from the notrh bound lane.

There are a few on the site that can actually give a better location but that's pretty close methinks.

Paul,

Yah, looks good. I'm very happy with it. (now if I could just get rid of the ulcer it caused LOL)

EBUCK

[Paul Atreides]

Sorry about the ulcer! You will HAVE to post all of the whining enviroweenie complaints you get. We could all use a good laugh.

[EBUCK]

I will. As a matter of fact I'm thinking of getting some frames ready for the really funny ones.

"It was stopping forest fires in the past that has caused the problem. Why do you think that environmentalists are responsible for stopping forest fires ?"

No, it was curtailing the logging that has set us up for these monster fires. - The logging roads and the clear-cut patches do the most to stop the fires from getting out of hand.

Enviro-nazi are the driving force behind the stupidity of not logging.

Just letting fires burn is nonsense. Large amounts of useable wood fiber is lost to fires that are just allowed to burn. Some areas should be burned to reduce the brush, but in other areas trees should be thinned and used for lumber, and paper rather than burning.

[editor-surveyor]

"If it wasn't for the environmentalists, there'd be no forest fires in many of these forests because there wouldn't have been any trees left in them except a few scrub trees."

That statement is just pure IGNORANCE

Enough timber burned this year to build every wood structure that has ever been built in the western states.

[editor-surveyor]

"well actually near Byron on a farm...right across the slough from where Discovery Bay is now."

On the Gambetta Ranch?

[meadsjn]

Awesome!

[farmfriend]

You didn't read what I posted and it is not worth replying to you until you do.

[farmfriend]

I posted a link to that map as well as a good portion from Carry_Okie's web site, he didn't read it of course.

""Willamette Ind. started planting trees 40 years ago""

When I was a Boy Scout, Willamette Industries leased nearly ten thousand acres in the Oregon Coast Range about 30 miles west of Eugene to my scout troop for a camp site. They let us build permanent shelters, improve the water supply and they maintained the access roads and fence lines.

All we had to do was plant 12,000 trees per year and notify them when we were making a weekend of it. We were there every six weeks at least, year round. The only time we didn't go was one winter when the snow was too deep.

That is responible forest management. It was also a wonderful thing for boys. We could run through the forest and hills to our hearts content without worrying about straying onto anyone else's land.

You need to read this previous post.

Natural Process introduces a free-market environmental management system that gradually eliminates the need for permits, regulations, and agency enforcement. Its design starts with proven product-design and manufacturing process-control techniques used to assure consumer product quality and safety. These components are incorporated into a system of checks and balances that uses third party certification and pooled risk to price the use of natural assets objectively and demands inviolable protection of private property rights. This synthesis can improve our care of the environment in harmony with an advanced economy.

Ok, there are at least 3 links to Carry_Okie's book plus a sizable quote from his web site. Do you think these nuts will read it?

[farmfriend]

You guys need to check out the enviro misdirection in post #103.

[cake_crumb]

"Do you think these nuts will read it?"

I know I don't think they'll read it....

Well...it's been a very long day...going to turn in. Great thread, and GREAT BILLBOARD BUMP!!

[cake_crumb]

"You guys need to check out the enviro misdirection in post #103."

I read that BS. Gave him an "apples and oranges" reply.

Have a good night, and I'm hoisting a beer in a toast to my fellow FReepers who helped to make this wonderful and brutally TRUTHFUL billboard possible.

CHEERS! and g'night.
