The main public entrance to the Soquel State Forest and the office that I work at for the Forest are about 25 minutes apart (~5 miles). So when we go out to the woods we take this "state vehicles" entrance that is MUCH closer (1/2 mile). To get to this entrance we have to drive through a quarry, and we usually stop to say hi to the quarry guys since we have a pretty good report going.

Anyway. So we stopped there today and the Quarrymaster leans out of his little hut and says, "So I hear you guys are going to be putting some logs on the ground next summer?" (i.e. we're doing some logging). My boss goes, "Yup, that's the plan!" To which Quarrymaster says "Good! We can't be the only guys raping and pillaging the Earth around here...it makes us look bad!"

I kind of thought that was awesome.
