Here when weed wackers slow down, the first thing removed is the Spark
Arrestor. That could have started the fire.


Removing a spark arrestor is illegal in their state?! *Some people
move there and never even have a spark arrestor.

Harassing a bear can be a federal offense. That charge can get you two
years in the pokey for a first offense. Stealing fish from a pond,
still gets a two year sentence.


Picking up an Eagle feather off a trail can land you in jail too.
