Forest? How do you set 50,000 acres of corn on fire?

With some vegetable oil and a little butter and salt? Mmmmm...fresh
popcorn.

You DO have a point there. Although, I do think I remember seeing about 3
trees growing in a clump around a farm house, one time in Iowa! g

You guys kill me. There are whole forests here, and lakes, and big
(well, okay, not that big) hills, and some pretty nice river
valleys.

But that's okay -- before I moved here in '97, I thought everyone in
Iowa sat on the front porch playing the banjo...

And Iowa has mountains - just like Illinois!

Yeah, but if you shaved your back, that'd cut the acreage by about 50%. :-)

And after moving there, you realized that they just sat on the front
porch and watched the corn grow?

Michelle P, totally off topic, I heard that Gov. Swartzenegger ordered
the forrest servcie to contract the DC-10 tanker. Do you know if it
saw any action in Catalena?
He can order the DC-10 for the CDF Calif dept of Forestry. The US Forest
service refuses to use it. It cannot spot dump. It is only good for
laying in long, long retardant lines. The plane is not that maneuverable
as well. No something we do often and it is very very expensive to run.
about $30,000/ hr.

Michelle

What are you guys using for dumpers, Stoots or Stoofs? The two here at
Grass Valley were the first two S2Ts in California and they have just been
absolute workhorses.

You flying the dumpers or the spotter?
