Why won't they allow us to collect dead wood everywhere... instead of only in certain areas? Seriously? My place in Jemez is surrounded by by dead wood..... but I cannot collect it for my fireplace. The firefighters I talk w/at Los Ojos gripe about the same thing.

PS- although not there at the moment, friends are keeping me updated.
