"Tombstone, AZ from using mechanical devices in the forest"

I'm from just down the road from Tombstone in Sorry Vista, Az. Lemme tell you what makes it even more egregious is "forest" is a joke. It's a desert wasteland of rock and scrub.

Oh - I should have thought of that. And perhaps I am wrong - but I thought it was the “Forest” service.

I almost got kicked off a job for pulling my truck off the dirt road in the desert, onto the “regular” dirt with a few sage brush scattered about. Instead they gave us all a half-hour lecture on how the sage brush were in “environmentaly sensitive” zones where we COULD not park, and care was to be taken so as not to disturb the sage brush. I thought they were worried about some rare reptile or something - but it was the sage brush they were worried about! Miles and miles of sage brush!

This was the same place where it took a year and a half to get a permit (after environmental audits, etc.) to be able to bang on the ground with a sledgehammer to do a geology type experiment.
