When the woods disappear

[sbukoskyParticipant]

As you are drivng down Highway N in the Kettle Moraine by Eagle, at N42 53.871 W88 30.103 there is a parking lot that was going to be the start of my first cache some time ago. I passed there the other day to find the whole area denuded and signs put up saying “Prairie Restoration”. Glad I didn’t hide one in there! Also was on a hunt by the Fox River by McHenry Illinois where a huge section of brush and trees where uprooted in the name of prairie restoration. Looked more like the makings of a subdivision than wild land.

Well, there’s a lot to be said for ecological diversity. There was once hundreds of miles of prarie in Wisconsin but most of it is lost now, having been taken over by Box Elder, Honey****le, and other “giant weeds”. Don’t get me wrong, I love the woods and can easily be accused of being a tree hugger, but I would really like to see more of our public land being restored to it’s natural state so that indigenous flora can, once again, thrive here. Let’s hope that these woods didn’t get destroyed just to make way for Garlic Mustard and Purple Loosestrife.

Oh, come on now. This is getting silly. We can’t say “****s” on these pages? My vacuum cleaner ****s. Mud can **** your boot off.
This ****s.

(Edited to add a smile) (heheh)

What are you talking about? No one is stopping you from posting messages that have four asterixs in a row. See, I can even type five if I want to: *****

Just joking of course! Sorry about that, the filters were left in place from an old board I used to use this software from, and there was a kiddie and teen section. I’ve removed that block, although stronger ones are still in place. Lets see if it works:

Ahem… testing, 1-2-3 (is this thing on?) oh yeak, okay. ‘Mary had a ****** cleaner, and it sucked’.

There, see? It didn’t get blocked. Oh wait! Now what? Its blocking the word vacuum?

I’m taking a vote: Now that its allowed to post the evil word honeysuckle , do I hear any votes cast to have me filter truely evil words, like say stinging nettle or tick?
