K. At Lyons Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt After spending two days on a tour with the Willamet te Nat. Forest Advisory coun cil I found out one thing for sure. I have muscles that I didn’t know I ever had. A hike up Iron Mountain proved that to me. There were men even older than I who made the hike, so I shouldn’t com plain, only that I’m just not in very good shape muscle wise. On this advisory council there is another man of the same name, only he spells his Moffitt. I spell mine Mof fatt, so we had quite a discus sion over the proper spelling, but decided to keep our own version, he being the south ern branch of the clan and me the northern branch. Dr. Mof fitt is considerably younger than I am, and made the hikes at a lope. He is an ard ent hiker and outdoors man, so that makes the difference. I did find out one thing though while up in the woods. People now are a lot like Hansel and Gretel of the old fairy tales. They are afraid they’ll become lost, so they mark their trails with tin cans, pop hotties, and all oth er types of debris. You can always find the trace of man when out in the wilderness area. Man is his own worst enemy. He is worse than any animal when it comes to dis- tributing litter. At one stop on the old Me- Kenzie Highway, the Forest Service has acquired a beauti ful roadside area which in time will be developed for the use of the public. Back off the highway there is a mammoth spring. Do you know what can be found there? Heaps of garbage thrown in an other wise natural beauty spot. As long as the public has so lit tle respect for nature, they do not deserve anything as beautiful to enjoy as the Wil lamette National Forest. If only each person would pack up after himself, what a beautiful country we could have. That would really be something to leave for our children.
