- Hey, anyone who shoots noisy refridgerators can't be all bad!

- So, I thought this was supposed to be an Abbey bashing thread,
- do you anti-Abbey folks scare so easy?
-
- Here's my two cents - they should have burned all his books except
- the ones I own ... soon after discovering the Monkey Wrench Gang
- about 13 years ago I made my first trip to S. Utah, I figure this
- was probably not an isolated event. Any guesses as to how many
- people first checked out this country because of his writing?
- What a terrible thing to do to those quiet, undisturbed places!
- More specifically, the places that had no mining/cattle/damming
- possibilities ... in other words, the places that would now be
- better off if no one went there, that now smell of human urine
- and have cairns ...
