How is it that propaganda can become so thick that people feel they need to say (although I am not a tree hugger) trees being a big reason why we have life. Why would you be embarrassed to love a major life giving force. Something we cannot live without.
How twisted away from what we were meant to be have we become?
That is very embarrassing for me to be part of a race of beings that have let corporate interest over-ride our basic instinct for survival.
I was saddened to see these old creatures die like that.

There is a powerful tale of romance there in there somewhere, I'm sure.
I grieve for their loss, but I'm sure they felt it coming and prepared for it.
As to what to do about the trail: build a new one around them, you ninnies.
That seems so obvious I wonder at the mental capacities and worldviews of those who even question what to do.
Sheesh.

I hope they don't cut them up or anything. If they need to clear the trail, they should cut a tunnel through the trees to let people pass through. That would help people to appreciate how really gigantic those trees are.
"What has happened, as you can see behind me, this tree fell on top of the trail. Not only perpendicular to it, but if you look off to this side, it fell along about 100 ft. of the length of the trail. It's not only this one little section here, but [color=B8DBBE]also 100 ft. is sitting parallel, on top of the trail, that we've gotta figure out what we're going to do, in order to reopen the trail, and make it accessible for all folks."
They are not sure what to do with them as they are blocking the trail.

They are not sure?!
The rules of forestry are very simple and very strict: leave a fallen tree where it fell. Period.

so you may need to plant a few more if you want them to reach a grand age and hight.
They survive because they live in groves with their root systems entangled with numerous other trees. In other words they support each other. They couldn't survive alone. "
