Atlanta Correspondent Spencer L. Davidson drove into the Pisgah National Forest at the southern end of the Appalachians; Detroit Correspondent Nick Thimmesch made the rounds in Upper Michigan's Hiawatha National Forest; Denver Bureau Chief Barren Beshoar headed into the San Juan Mountains for three days; Albuquerque Correspondent Arch Napier trekked through New Mexico's Carson National Forest. In Washington, Bureau Chief John L. Steele mopped his brow, thought warmly of his colleagues in the cool forests, and with Chief Forester Richard E.
