Thank you to whomever made this happen. The NF is my families playground this time of year.
If you can’t run internal combustion engines, that means no cars, trucks, quads, motorcycles, etc. More importantly, this means no chainsaws. For the thousands who rely on wood heat, when do we get to go use the wood permits we were issued?
