From KZone: Guerilla Trailblazers Arrested

[wa-loaf]

Just delerious from the heat today and my teething 18 month old son being up every hour last night

Wow, still teething a 18 mos. That's a bummer! Both my kids started getting teeth at 3-4 months. The 10 month old has about 1/2 of his in already.

Probably those rear molars...they can take a while to break through. And they hurt like a bitch until they do.

snowman, it's not as open as it looks.... it would certainly take a few weeks even with power tools.

Really?! It almost looks to me like there's 100 to 200 foot stretches here and there where you wouldn't have to cut anything, creating that average. Due to the type of trees and width of their canopies you only have to take out maximum 2 wide to get 60 feet. Since you've been, and I haven't, what do you think the average spacing footage is? I'm assuming they took the optimum path where they would have to drop the least trees.......

Actually my son has less than 1/2 of his baby teeth so far, although that doesn't stop him from eating just about anything

Big sis didn't get the last of her 20 baby teeth until just after she turned 3. Just mean the tooth fairy won't be stopping by my house until my kids are close to 8 rather than the usual average age of 6.

I wonder if the scar will look anything like this PhotoChopped image? :evil:
Big Jay was plenty open without having to plow a blvd down the face.

We need pictures!!!!

I was thinking it probably looks more like this

Nice! How much time/fine do you think I'd get for sneaking up there with my buddy and installing a high speed quad???

You'd have to be careful- it'll be hard to hide the helicopter.

or, if you don't use a chopper, it may be easier to hide a bulldozer in the woods while you build a road to each tower, then use some ground machinery to hoist the towers in place.... yikes!

the news of the SCAR at big jay sickens me though..sucks..

Thanks for the link! That doesn't look like 60' across to me I think the narrator said 20'. Looks like a lot of damage, but I was expecting worse the way the article sounded....

Not exactly 60ft wide, but still pretty ugly.

 

[bigbog]

...pretty wide...

60' wide......I guess we can rule out Greg and a newfound bumpfield...;-)

Thanks for the link I was hoping to see the actual cut.


OK so who will ski it?

 

[kingdom-tele]

with any luck no one will be skiing it, it should be roped off, replanted, and allowed to recover for the good of the hillside

there is plenty of skiing available on big jay that this should be left alone and allowed to recover, skiing it would be just a step behind cutting it, go left or right and ski the woods how they were meant to be skied

 

[2knees]

I'd bet the forest service might not be too happy about anyone skiing it.

Good grief...what were those woodchucks thinking?

 

[Marc]

Except for the stereotype about ambition in 20 year olds, you are correct. They were two relative locals in their 40's. Mid-life crisis?

Oh, and about the 20 year olds, I would agree if you said you wouldn't find a 20 year old with a chainsaw and the tools and spare parts needed for this job let alone two. 2 stroke yard tools are the domain of the old fart.

I had already rebuilt two chainsaws, a weed wacker and two push mowers by the time I was 20.


I only own one chainsaw now, but am in the market for a stihl 026 pro, if anyone is selling.

Yeah I dont know. When I am over there I am going to take a look at it. I guess I will decide at that point.
I think people are going to ski it. Its done, it was stupid and should have never been butit is what it is.

Looks like there is a couple of good hits in there
