    The national park system is corrupt to the core - Ostensibly safeguarding land for all, the timber is instead sold off to the highest bidder. Frequently roads are even built for the use of the logging companies, at no expense to them. No giants will reclaim that land.
-Is this truly the case? Are logging companies allowed to take timbre out of National Parks?

Also, I appreciated your telling of where you grew up and your experience seeing the "giants" in person. Can I ask where you saw them, which park and in what part of the US you grew up? I'd be interested in seeing some "virgin forest" myself some day.

Thanks.
