Fig. 1. Ruined in its beautiful youth. The Appalachian slope above the cabin has been reduced to desert while the logs of the original trees still sprawl, wasted, across its wasting gullies. The gullies also carry ruin to the meadows and navigation below. More deadened trees stand in the new clearing at far left. Will we complete this suicide?
