Do As I Say...Not As I Do

Found out yesterday from a Scott Co. Deputy that the Forest Service had to contact the Earth First organization and have them remove the trash they left behind at their rally. Also if you plan on being in the Falls of the Little Stony area any time soon, step lightly...there is a weeks worth of human waste from almost 100 people buried somewhere in shallow pits.

Earth First at Little Stony Falls

Rode up to the Falls to check out the Earth Firsters today. There were around 50 vehicles parked along side the road. Tags were from just about every state including Texas, California, Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Indiana,
Wyoming, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Maine, Massachusett, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon just to name the ones I can remember. Talked to the people manning the registration site. They were very elusive and vague about what they were there for. All they actually said was straight from their web site.

Katuah Earth First: Round River Roundevouz JULY 3-10, 2006

This might be a fairly interesting week here in Coeburn. A group called Katuah Earth First is holding a rally this week. They are camping out next to "Falls of the Little Stony"
just over in the next county about 7 miles from here. They are expecting between 200 to 400 people to show up. According to the State Police they are classified as Environmental Terriorists. (scroll down to the list of groups) Their own web site suggests this when they say they believe in using ALL of the tools in the tool box from from grassroots and legal organizing to civil disobedience and monkeywrenching. While I am in basic agreement with their goals I do not agree with their methods.
