Clearcut at Ice Age Trail

Obviously the WI DNR is clearing some brush 

along the IceAgeTrail.  This shot was taken May 30 on the section between the horse camp and

Stone Elephant.  It was a huge mess:  ground torn up by heavy logging machinery, with all the ambience of a clear cut.  This stack of red pine logs is waiting for the lumber mill.

I thought there might be a better way to do it;

Whoever designed this logging machine 

must surely be a bustard.  For wherever

this contraption goes, there follows the garlic mustard.

In stead of hiring some jobless guys

with axes and scythes slightly rusted,

this carbon- belching monster goes--

technology not to be trusted.

The opinions are those solely of the management.  I am sure the DNR is doing the best they can with what they've been dealt (governor Walker, thank you again).
