<DIV>The local fire danger has greatly increased with the recent hot weather and
yesterday's hot, drying winds.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope that everyone will take very prudent precautions to avoid starting
any kind of fire in unauthorized places. I hope that all of you who are
thoughtful, prudent people will speak to those who do things that increase the
probabilities of a fire and/or report them to Law enforcement.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We continue to see on Saddle Ridge Road freshly discarded cigarettes
butts. There are also places on Moscow Mountain where off-roaders of
various kinds continue to ride off-trail and off-road through very dry, tall
grass and through very dry brush. Not only is this kind of off-road
activity forbidden by property owners on Moscow Mountain, but such activities
increase the probability of a wildfire. Also no fires of any kind are
allowed on Moscow Mountain at this time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bennett Forest Products, Inc. graciously allows recreational use of their
properties on Moscow Mountain and elsewhere. Let's reward their generosity
by helping to protect their lands and the lands of others from fire wrought by
thoughtless recreational users and other vandals.</DIV>
