As one who worked in park management for about 25 years I always pay attention to how things are built in any park I go to. Worked on trails, patrolled and maintained campsites during the summers out west when in college (1970's). Also worked in the trails unit of the DNR for about 15 years, although in the central HQ, so I never got my hands dirty by then. Still pay attention to these things as I know their importance. Fire rings are one of the fundamental facilities in the BWCA, for visitor convenience and limiting environmental impact, yet we seem to take them for granted. Their condition and construction is one of the things I look at when deciding whether to have a fire or not. Have altered a few to make them easier to use and more efficient too. Trail construction, stairs, bridges and erosion controls are easy to overlook as we travel through. Also a source of beauty when they fit into the environment. A lot of work goes into these things! Will try to post some things in the future. |

I found this forum when I was bored and decided to look through the special interest forums list to see what was going on. I bet there are others that check in from time to time but don’t bother to post anything. |
