Doesn't make sense why they would want to log the mountains when the tree farms throughout the Piedmont are more profitable and no one really cares when you log tree plantations. We have huge logging operations within 20 miles of my house in land unsuited for most things.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

That's horrible. I hope the Sierra Club is all over it. I read somewhere that the US Forest Service has more roads than any state or federal agency."Dazed and Confused"

They spend more building and maintaining the road to the timber tract then they collect from the timber contract.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Taxpayers pay for the roads and (private) lumber companies reap the profits.
The costs are socialized, the profits privatized. It's how we roll here in the USA. -

So it sort of like on of the reasons why our prisons no longer cover there own costs, too many lucrative contracts being handed out.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Get a grip people. It's a simple equation, if it costs too much to access the timber, the timber doesn't get cut.
