Please do not skip over the word "up", as I did. Or do it, I'm not your boss.

Did not know I needed this horse explosion diagram but here is it
Rangers decided not to blow up the horses, and opted instead to maneuver them to the foot of a steep slope and reroute the trail around them, he said.
They rolled them down the hill, didn't they.
Just go the serial killers route and use quicklime
- I was thinking the same thing, till I read why they do this-to prevent It attracting bears, which can be unsafe.
  I'm thinking the lime wouldn't drive them away.
  Still, it's 55 lbs of explosives they have to use. Holy smokes. Couldn't you just douse it with keresoene and.... Oh, yea, wildfire prevention, lol.
