The state is clearing a new right of way here and all the pulp is taken to the local paper mills, some across state lines. Now a real kicker, the roots, hardwood, limbs that sit for months after the pulp wood is harvested, is eventually chipped up and transported to a power plant in Gainesville, FL with the rest including the small pines are taken to Waycross, GA to be made into power and heating pellets sent to europe. None of this wood is treated in the field. I know a driver that has been transporting to Waycross, he said DOT is only concerned with weight and length and the company bill of laden.
We have a campfire in a can to use where campfire rings are not allowed. Every other spot we camp that allows a campfire, we will have our own wood. I do believe bugs haven't been stopped at any state or county line to check their papers to see if they are disease free. Asked a few love bugs the other day, just continued to copulate.
