Well, part of the problem is a 400,000 acre blowdown that occured in 1999.

Fuel is not an issue.

'What a waste of time that was...didn't catch a damn thing' :drag:

'Aw, hell, man...your ashtray is full'

'Well just throw it out the window, moron!..there's no one around here anyway...and give me another beer'

Correct. The Minnesota Stop Smoking Coalition inspected all of the area, could not find a single butt. Several died in the process, their last dying words "at least it wasn't tobacco smoke"..... :dribble:

400,000 acres of blown down trees and the environmental groups won't let us touch a single one. Habitat for the poor little critters. Don't want to upset the ecological cycle. Just think of all the McDonald wrappers that coulda been made from all that.

awesome fire -- does anyone know if the cool tree-house (8th pic) survived?

That tree house got lucky and survived.....so I got my spare gas can and burned that M*th#er&uc*&r down. Sorry. If bambi can't eat grass....

In one of the photo's there was an outboard on an aluminum boat. That is the first outboard I have seen in the Boundary Waters area.

Firefighters are exempt. Plus not all the lakes fall under the rule.
