Re: Re: Re: Idaho family sues USFS for $1M after tree hit son
This tree fell on us at about 2AM on USFS land. I cannot believe that trail crews don't monitor tree conditions. This tree obviously should have been removed long agao. It put some hol...

If you could have only ONE solo shelter?

Salt, lemon, and water.
