The bad thing is, when you "Buy Local" It often doesn't mean it's a local produced product. This year when buying the little bundles of firewood at a store near where we were camped recently in both Utah, and Colorado, it turns out the wood came from Montana. Go figure...
In the Midwest, the transportation bans are to SLOW the advance of EAB, not to eliminate it. I'm thinking the Western States will have similar rules as EAB spreads West. In my resident County and surrounding counties, it is illegal to transport Ash firewood across County lines.
So the packaged firewood they offer at the campground that was cut in northern WI, 300plus miles away, is ok because it's been inspected (ya right all of it), but they won't allow me to bring in scrap 2x4's and 4x4's? Or at least they think i don't! At this point very few campgrounds are worried about there teees and more about putting some more money in thier pocket! Sorry but this is one area that irritates me!
