This blog is based in Northeast Ohio, what was "La Nation du Chat," the Cat Nation, as the French-Canadian furtraders called the Land of the Erie Indians. The blog will touch on many issues: nature, the environment, literature, poetry, society, and politics. Around here we think of the Lake Erie shoreline as the North Coast of the United States--a Frontier in the midst of the Rust Belt.

Carolan Training with Crosscut Saws
I found this photo of my daughter Carolan training on crosscut saws with her colleagues in the Southwest Conservation Corps (out of Salida, Colorado). We think she'll be working in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains Wilderness this summer (this is in the Rio Grande National Forest). When in designated wilderness areas, conservation workers cannot use chain saws.
