Woodman: We need to protect Tubbs Hill

Woodman (RE: Coeur d'Alene to build Tubbs Hill access road): I hope you didn't have to see any of the fires we had this summer on Tubbs. I did, And I will tell you you, that standing on 2nd st and Lakeside watching the flames shooting up through the trees near the top of the hill was Overwhelming and Scary. I can not and will not imagine Tubbs Hill Burned up. But that night I thought, what ever it takes to protect that hill is worth what ever it takes. The Tubbs Hill Committee has been and will always be involved in taking care of our treasure. I think the road is the most efficient way to do that at this time.
