Why don't you recite the Gettysburg Address?

He looks like Lincoln, he talks like Lincoln, but he won't be satisfied till he gets shot.

And here's Lincoln Meadow before selective logging.

Abe Lincoln did it with Rails

Take Abraham Lincoln for instance. A natural born piggy backer.

Well, I've returned to Lincoln Meadow 15 times in the last 25 years, and I can tell you that the biophony, the density and diversity of that biophony, has not yet returned to anything like it was before the operation.

But here's a picture of Lincoln Meadow taken after, and you can see that from the perspective of the camera or the human eye, hardly a stick or a tree appears to be out of place, which would confirm the logging company's contention that there's nothing of environmental impact.

Lincoln Meadow's a three and a half hour drive east of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, at about 2,000 meters altitude, and I've been recording there for many years.
