[Jeff Hopkins <phxjeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is all very interesting and confirms my lack of faith in the 
Forest Service. The PNF put out a "Boundary Project" study which 
would use prescribed burns and requested comments. I sent in several 
pages as the large booklet for the project had no mention of 
protecting private property during prescribed burns.
The FS assured everyone they would have complete control. They seem 
so confident that they have closed and plan to obliterate many 
inter-forest roads. There have been several big battles going on 
between forest property owners and the FS. It has become very obvious 
the FS has no idea what they are doing.

While those who do not have forest property or live close to the 
forest most likely have little concern, those of us in the forest 
fear for our lives and property due to FS actions. When our concerns 
were stated to the FS their reply was "that is the penalty for living 
in the forest."

I have a web site devoted to these issues if anyone is interested.
