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.
