Have you ever had an initial attack crew cutting fire line in your back yard ? I have. They weren't trying to restrict my access to the forest, they were trying to save my house.

I'm guessing you'd be offended by that and tell them to get off your property ??

Forest service will restrict roadways because they know idiots will burn the place down if they don’t and ruin something good for everyone. If they didn’t have restrictions everything would be ruined. Unfortunately it seems like half or more of humans will totally destroy things if there not regulated. Imagine if garbage wasn’t regulated.

Come on white , you know thats not what im talking about

You said restricting pubilc access to public forest because of a fire hazard ........happens here all the time for a multitude of reasons , alot of it is bs

Obviously if an inferno is in ones backyard its not going to be unrealistic to have restricted access to mushroom picking in that moment

It happens here too but it isn't some Big Government plot to keep citizens out of the forest. It's to protect the dang forest and the public resources in it

You might think differently if you lived where the national forest is managed soley by liberals

Its always in the " name of protecting public resources "

I lived in CA for 29 years.

That is way long enough to understand the motives in undercurrent tactics....and to discern the need in protection, in other dealings.

Memory loss then ? ....lol

That was a long long time ago ....things have changed in the last 30 yrs

Where in cali did you live ?

I have absolutely no doubt it is worse now than then.

AS a kid I was was about 20 miles east of L.A

After the military I was in N. CA in Humboldt county

I was born in west covina , lived in big bear for awhile

Part of my high school yrs i lived in Truckee

WOW I was born and grew up in Monrovia.

Fished Big Bear many times.
College at Humboldt

In n out ...has finally moved north into oregon ( ive been waiting 35 yrs ) . If you hold out long enough they may move into washington and then alaska

I remember the orange/ red tide ( gold fish ? ) in big bear lake . And the layer of smog that would creep up from the valley ....

I remember the one in Monrovia. On HGWY 66 right under the train trestle. I don't know how early they were there but I remember them at least around 1950. Good stuff !!

I had family in West Covina from about '53 to '60

Prolly not a place either one of us wants to return to ......

LOL !! I still have family there that I haven't seen in decades and never will unless they leave.

You couldn't pay me to even transit the area! If I can't carry, I'm not going !

It was 1948 white , first one in baldwin park , a mile from my grandmothers house ..........growing up i never knew what a mcdonalds was .....lol

Me either. Peaks, in Pasadena was the prototype for MCD. I met Sirhan Sirhan at that place. He was working there around 1962-63

1948. They sure have been a success

Good thing you didnt wiz him off ............lol ...........crazy

Actually he was a pretty decent guy. Good shot too

What a time and place to grow up. ! Highway 39, woodys, surfer girls, Bob's Big Boy on Colorado Blvd. Deuce coupes and the Little Ol Lady From Pasadena.
