This story reminds me of a drive I took through Oregon in the late 70's or early 80s. We were almost pushed off the road by logging trucks who considered the hiways their personal throughfares to the mills. Truck after truck filled with giant logs made me realize that they were hollowing out the forests from the inside and by the time people realized what was happening, they would have all the trees. Now the state is a tree farm with the oldest tree around being maybe 30 years.
