One time, not long ago, I was floating the Buffalo between Kyles Landing and Pruitt, and saw fires on the ridge. I pulled over near a trail and hiked up. There were guys with backpack torches setting blaze to piles of cedar. They had sawed apart the low growth. Some forest manager's expenditure for the sake of long term gains. Every 20 yards was a night's worth of warm hooping and hollering, smoking up the April afternoon, a mile from the road and two miles from Erbie campground.
While I could appreciate that being someone's job, misdirection of manpower noted, I couldn't help but ask, for all the fires, cedar if lucky, I'd lit in like areas, shouldn't I receive compensation? The man owes me. Where's my money?
