Senator McGuire calls this the “Great Redwood Trail Agency.” I wonder if he has ever studied maps or photos of most of the Middle Fork of the Eel River -- its vegetation is nothing like the South Fork. There aren't many redwood trees upstream from Alderpoint, and the real park-quality stands don't even reach Fort Seward.

Of course most of the legislators who will vote on this probably just read the proposed law's title and vote accordingly.
