The lake and picnic area including a shelter were built in 1938-1939. The original shelter was found inadequate and a modified model B-3500 shelter was constructed probably by the CCC from camp F-6 in 1941. The name of the recreation area was changed in 1956 to Molly’s Rock Picnic Area, which was the local unofficial name. The name originates from a sheltered place between and under two huge boulders once inhabited by an African- American woman named Molly.

Hotshots THE ORIGINS AND WORK CULTURE OF AMERICA'S ELITE WILDLAND FIREFIGHTERS Lincoln Bramwell n a hot, dry day in early July 1994 near Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Ohigh winds fanned a small fire on the top of Storm King Mountain into a major conflagration that quickly blew over fifty-two ofthe U.S. Forest Service's most elite firefighters as they battled the flames. Fourteen men and women died, including nine members of the Prineville (Oregon) Hotshots. This tragedy brought national attention to Interagency Hotshot Crews (IHC), the backbone of the federal government's response to wildland fire. IHCs, twenty-person rapid-response fire crews, specialize in large, dangerous wild­ fires. Their high level of physical fitness, training, self-reliance, and exper­ tise make the IHC the Forest Service's elite firefighters; these men and women are dispatched to the worst fires in the toughest terrain under the most life-threatening circumstances.

SIMMONS, logging specialist NORTHEASTERN FOREST EXPERIMENT STATION FOREST SERVICE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE - - - WASHINGTON, D. C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

Since progress in practical forestry depends much upon mutual understanding and assistance between the wardens, woodsmen, and timber owners, the aim in this pamphlet is to combine instructions to forest wardens with a brief outline of the best methods of cutting the timber of this region. The Author. Chepachet, November, 1913. MAR 28 W* PART L INSTRUCTIONS TO FOREST WARDENS. 1. The prevention of forest fires being a service of great value to the state, do not hesitate to do your full duty under the law, feel- ing assured in the discharge of your official duties of the support of all good citizens. 2. Read carefully the forest fire laws, which for convenience, are published in a booklet issued by this office. In reading the law you will observe that there are no restrictions whatever upon the setting of fires in the open air between December 1 and March 1. Between these two dates fires may be set anywhere without a permit from the warden. From March 1 to December 1 fires can be set without a permit, in plowed fields and gardens, and on other land devoid of inflammable materials, and on highways by owners of adjacent lands, etc.
