the angst of being a law abiding citizen...

Andy in Raleigh

>I took the kids for a bike ride yesterday on a bike path at the edge of a nature preserve (for Mike Rubes or others nearby and curious, I am talking about the path between Lochmere and Regency Park). They leave the fallen timber, only cutting it when it crosses the path. They had cut a few a little while back that looked like they were very nicely spalted but not yet rotten (there is a lot of rotten wood also). There is a big burl on an uncut deadfall back off the trail also. In the back of my mind, I couldn't help thinking that after the ride, I could be back over here in 5 minutes with a hand truck. I already had my trailer on to carry the bikes. But no, I am a law abiding citizen and must let them rot to feed those worms...

On the bright side, the weather was fabulous for early January. Kids were wearing T shirst both days.

>Hi Andy,

There may be ways to get it. You can always contact the town of Cary and ask them about the possibility of removing a deadfall. They might even encourage you to do so! You never know. They have a web address at:

www.townofcary.org

Good luck!

>It's on the edge of Hemlock Bluffs, where they take the business of being a refuge very seriously - "take only pictures, leave only footprints". The walking trails inside the refuge proper are another place that can make you crazy if you think about the potential bounty rotting all around you. I do also have a practicality issue with storage right now, but I could probably work that out if I were properly motivated...

GPS location Please

>I need more specific directions.

Could you take a portable GPS unit and give me the exact longitude and latitude.

I promise to leave any saw dust while removing the burl!!! :-)
