Digger must have been there with his wheelbarrows.

No wheelbarrows, just a lot of buckets.

Buckets! What are you, some kind of you Intergalactic Domination Invitational Eliminator beast? :dizzy:

Please let me demonstrate the ride around; really it's no trouble.

Looks like fun. Wish I could have made it out. Working Sundays is just not as much fun

Not sure who Monica is but did read her comment and having looked at the trees in this particular area I have to say that I don't understand what exactly she is complaining about or what her issues are.
She seems to be miss informed about the forest biodiversity in this area as there isn't any. The stand of trees is strictly a monoculture of Hemlock, not much biodiversity there. I saw no cedars (or any other tree species) and the forest appears to have grown back naturally from when it was first logged. A monoculture is not a true "forest" and as such cannot be a 'healthy' ecosystem. If she really is that concerned she can start planting trees of other species in the area and some native plants in her own yard. She sounds like just another city environmentalist who doesn't have a clue about her natural environment or what she is talking about. I wonder if she even knows where her water comes from or where it goes when she flushes her toilet. And the holes we dug for the dirt have no effect on the health of the trees or their roots.
I think she would be better off worrying about her own yard, growing her own food and supporting people who like to be healthy by biking in a non urban environment who then are happy = good citizens = good society.

ENOUGH Of your reason and logic! How DARE you!

Wow, Monica sounds like loads of fun. Misplaced anger issues, completely erroneous information, and full out attacks on the wrong people.

Best part is she said a year or so ago she was retiring from her crusade. She doesn't seem to know when to give up. Anyway, she's had enough attention for this week, I say we let her stew in her own misery and ignore her.

Sketchy Flanders. You have reached a new level of fame on NSMB. You have been quoted by Monica in a letter to the DNV. I have a new goal in life.

Not sure who Monica is

I think she posts here occasionally with this alias….

…. or she's a miserable old troll that stopped being relevant 7 years ago and continues to hate anyone that spends time in her perceived personal backyard of Fromme mountain, and pretends to fight for the environment while not actually being able to back up her irrational position with any actual facts.

… but I can never remember which one she is.

I'll have to send her a thank-you card.
