Busted cutting trails in VT

[DaveTV]

OUCH

This is my other brother, Darryl....

60ft wide!
They must be shitty skiers.

Bill Briggs was one of the original tree cutters. He got busted (I think twice) cutting periphery runs at Snowking, in Jackson, back in the 60's I believe. Classic.

60 feet wide and 3/4 of a mile long

yeah like NOBODY was gonna notice that one

f-ing morons

bet the damn thing won't even hold snow

Yeah - they much be. The warden more than likely was very liberal with his measurements. Probably the old "double it and add thirty" rule. Kinda like how cops say "we busted this guy with 60 lbs of pot" when in reality they only got about 3 lbs of actual bud.

Another sign of the apocalypse: I agree completely.

60 feet wide by 3/4 mile long is a clearcut, no way that's what was happening there.

3 lbs x 2 = 6lbs, 6lbs + 30 = 36lbs, 36lbs =! 60lbs.

3 lbs x 2 = 6lbs, 6lbs + 30 = 36lbs, 36lbs =! 60lbs.

I are not soo good at 'rithmatic, but the 2x+30 rule and the DEA analogies were meant to be unrelated.

I got busted for building freeride mtb trails a few years back. I never cut a tree bigger than about 1" diameter and all the steep sections were on bare rock so there were no errosion issues. But the Forestry Agent and the DA made it sound like I was hacking out four lane highways. In the end, I opted to plea-bargain out to avoid searving hard time for building a few little trails on a remote piece of county forest that nobody but one prick Forestry guy cared about. That's how these losers play thier game. I'd be willing to bet these guys at Jay are getting the same treatment.

after re-reading the article I'm inclined to agree with ice and jer

But its got to be pretty obvious if its noticeable to the GMC

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Long Trail runs over Jay Peak not Big Jay

I know there's the path out to Big Jay from Jay Peak but there are no other hiking trails on Big Jay right?

[RIGAFARI]

So sad......Sounds desperate

All it takes is one hippy to hear the distant sound of a saw or wonder why those pickup trucks are parked at that certain part of deserted dirt road.

[Jer]

Pfft. I can hear a handsaw at 1000 yards in thick forest. An anvil? At least a mile.
