While scouting the forest for eclipse positions that were not common to others and looking for advantages for the Fall, I noticed the fire aftermath along the ridges from last year's fire which was blown into Gatlinburg because of two young lads and their poor decision making process.

This Fall the colors will be in the valley but, and say but, there will be splotches in the canvas of color to remind every person viewing the scenery that 20 years of natural beauty has been destroyed by youth not being trained in the basic ways of Woodsman ship along with living on pavement and concrete structures.

I have also posted an earlier photo of the same area so each can see what will not be enjoyed by the young, elderly, and children for the future years of life left to each person. Think before you elect to build a fire and kill it so it will not flame up after you leave it.
