     Paradoxically, they closed the forests before the holidays that year,
unprecedented in my 30 years here, yet ended up with a half-million acre
fire started by two people who were in the forest illegally.  I wonder
if the current modest-restrictions-but-strong-policing angle that seems
to be being taken this year is a reaction to that.

     Not really.  Sometimes cahrred logs and such persist a very long
time since rotting is very slow.
