[pct-l] drought and its consequences along the PCT

[jomike at cot.net (JoAnn M. Michael)]

Blisterfree,

I beg to differ. Nothing is more forgiving than Mother Nature.  This land, this world, this universe has been around for a whopping lot of years. Changes? Of course, nothing remains stagnant and lives. Has human-kind made mistakes, of course again. Has anyone lived a life mistake-free?  And yet, look at any burn areas...I have been amazed, as to what I have seen in many, many places, as to just how fast Nature IS coming back...new growth of every kind, everywhere. Come back the same? maybe not.  Would we want the same world that did-in the dinosaurs?  Let's not for get the world was once a deep freeze and once a hellava big lake.  Don't think we'd chose either of those as comfy living environments for we folks.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be 'shot down' by many listers but I am not and never have been pessimistic about Mother Nature.  She's one heck of a gal.  :)

Thanks...JoAnn

P.S. Please be aware I am not addressing the human tragedy of the various forces of Nature.
