One of the giants at Montgomery Woods that fell and needed to be bucked to clear the way. I am all for protecting these trees but I feel leaving it here to rot is a huge waste of its life.

Some much beauty in this fallen giant could serve humanity. The value of this timber is massive and it could repair and pay for many improvements in this park that need to be made. Despite stealing billions annually in taxes California can't even do basic upkeep on its state parks.

California is honestly a beautiful state and we have met nothing but wonderful people on this trip. The government though clearly has no clue about forest management. I walk around and all I see is that huge wildfires are going to be common in this state for a long time.

I fought wildfires in OR and got sent to CA for one trip. The fuel load is out of control. You can’t have helicopters flying around with dudes jumping out to suppress almost every single lightning strike, and then take a completely hands off approach to fuel mitigation.
