Sign Sabotage
In an overnight blitz last weekend, U.S. forest fee opponents used axes and a chainsaw to tear down 11 fee signs at eight trailheads in the Sawtooth National Forest. "Whether you like the program or not, this isn't the way to protest it," said Mary Ritz, a Forest Service fee coordinator. (Express photo by Willy Cook)
