It is far from clear who put those spikes > there. As I said, I don't know why USFS has made the "eco-terrorist" comment (if the reporter was quoting correctly). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that nails and spikes seem to be a favored tool-of-the-trade for eco-terrorists (not to be confused with environmentalists). A google search on - environmental terrorists nails spikes - produces thousands of links. Some real eye-opening reading at some of those links. > It is premature to conclude who did it.

Earthfirst wasn't mentioned in the article or video.

Some of the spikes have been found underwater because the guides were *looking* for them and two ripped inflatables found some of them. jackie *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
