[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 97106, member: 21"] I've not read the CNN piece, but this story is a lot more complicated than most news stories can cover. There are a lot of players and not every non Forest Service party is behind the town. The root of the problem came when the wilderness was designated. Why the land that had the water works on it was included makes no sense. How exactly is it wilderness if pipelines have been laid through it? Untrammeled by man. Check. The wheelbarrow thing is a classic. Maybe the definition should be expanded. Horse shoes are metal. What about saddles. Could boots be considered a machine? While I'm not normally overly sympathetic to the Forest Service, they are really screwed on this one. If they let them in to do the work they get sued. If they don't they get sued. If I had the time and $$$ I'd be part of the shovel brigade protest. [/QUOTE]
