No, I wouldn't tend to think so. Leaving dried plants and timbers scattered about in piles doesn't sound like a great way to stop fires to me. I think they might have been planning on building something and stopped half way through. And several of the bushes and trees that were growing there were already taller than I am. I'd say they haven't touched it in over a year. Sorry Jim, missed that one. No, I wouldn’t tend to think so.

The treads of a CAT construction vehicle and those of a tank are strikingly similar.

Ben, do you think this area is a “firebreak”?

I actually prayed to see signs of carbonation, a fire perhaps? Then only to see the tracks of the beast responsible: the easily recognized treads of a weapon of war.

Sigh. By the by, great post on ishcon as well. I wish, for one, that I didn't know what Miranda was talking about. :( Ben

They cleared out everything, of what had already grow back most was designed to defend itself. That’s what I meant.

Of -course- there will still be thorns. It's just that if you don't take care of stuff, it will all be thorns. Heh. Of -course- there will still be thorns.

Which, of course, led me to post a local legend (<a href="http://fora.anthropik.com/viewtopic.php?p=598#598" rel="nofollow">Chinigchinich</a>) on the forum section. Relative this discussion, Chinigchinich taught his people how to responsibly use the world around them and left them with the message that if they didn't take care of the world, it would result in stinging insects and scratching thorns. Pity the Europeans weren't in a mood to listen. A great story! Which, of course, led me to post a local legend (Chinigchinich) on the forum section.
