A little woods time

Today I went into the woods behind my cousins house (about a hundred acres) that I've hunted before to retrieve a tree stand I put up a year ago, and while carrying it out I stumbled on a pine stump, I kicked through the rotted part and found a nice piece of fat wood, I got excited and started looking around and found a few good pieces, took 'em home and cleaned 'em up and cut 'em into smaller pieces. This was the first time I've found any, and after reading about it here I've been wanting to try and find some, so later in the day I made a nice fire with it, started right up, this stuff really burns well. I'll be getting a new camera for christmas so I'll be able to takes pics of my outings and knives later. My present one bit the dust a few months ago.
 
Sounds like a great time. I tried another route in the small forest here today.
I kind of hoped that the pine section here wasn't part of the nature preserve that is closed to the public.

Well it isn't, but it is closed to the public anyway ...

I sometimes wonder - what do we preserve nature for? Obviously for those people sneaking in anyway and leaving a heap of beer cans, wine bottles, all sorts of plastic packaging ... while I meet lots of people that just want to sit in there quietly to get some photographs ... let those people in, and they will not only not leave rubbish but they will also pick up rubbish and teach the kids about why our forests are important.
 
I'm fortunate that I live 15min from the Talledaga Nat. forest, about 500,000 acres of public land I can roam in. There are a few places with people like that, would rather trash the place then preserve it.
