You can still see "HAYDUKE LIVES!" bumper stickers on old Subaru wagons all around the West. AND

If you're nice, we might even show you our own copy of the nifty 1987 edition of The Monkey Wrench Gang, with illustrations by R. Crumb.

My old Subaru wagon was plastered with EF! stickers & I also posses the R. Crumb hardcover version of MWG. If you ever make it down to the Tetons we can swap stories over a 12 pack of cheap beer.

I never heard of deaths back in the day, but there was one young man injured when a sawmill blade hit a spike. From a grove that had been publicized as being spiked. The guy later supported monkeywrenching.

A lot of the "spikes" are actually old nails overgrown by trees around the many, many hunting camps in days gone by.

Hayduke Lives! EarthFirst!

I'm talking about withdrawing the nomination of somebody who is being used -- currently, this very minute -- as a cudgel against Democrats who are running, right now, for offices currently held by Republicans.

That nuclear waste won't explode on its own, you know.

But, but that means buying extra equipment and doing extra work to keep workers safe! Why do due diligence and safety checks when you can just destroy things quickly and easily? Better to just complain about eco-terrorists!

Growing up as a lad in southern Ohio, the nearest state park was named for John Bryan. That's where the summer swimming pool was located until our town built its own. Having a swimming pool nearby is a big deal during a summer in Ohio!

We were told by the park people that John Bryan drove spikes into trees to keep them from being logged. Back in his day, of course, trees were cut down with a crosscut saw. I'm sure a spike would present a danger if the log went to a sawmill.

Was the story true? I don't know. I just know they named the park after the guy because he worked hard during his life to save trees.

The Bald One has been peddling his book for the past three months. On his show he said it feels like three years. To this occasional listener (there's only so much Off-the-Mark I can stand) it seems like three lifetimes.

So the GOP is demonizing Stone-Manning. They have their marching orders from Big Oil and Big Mining and the rest of the Big natural resource users and abusers. Tracy is not on the payroll for them and they hate officials they didn't buy.

Penetration, however slight, is still penetration.

Could she use a rocket full of dynamite to change the moon’s orbit, though? Or nah? That would be her job as director of BLM, yes?

Thanks for sharing. I camped there several times as a kid, lovely hiking. Did not know anything about its namesake.
