We started off by getting rid of all of our motor-powered equipment. The power saws were sent out to the fire warehouse in McCall and replaced with the old hand-powered crosscut saws for trail maintenance and cutting firewood for the station.

This was replaced with an old, human-powered push lawn mower like those commonly in use before the invention of a mo- torized mower. About this time, the Forest Service started a nationwide policy of “You pack it in, then pack it out” regarding trash and garbage created on a camping trip. I don’t remember whether this had anything to do with the passage of the Wilderness Earl Dodds (Courtesy E.
