Mudboggers mucked up an area approximately one quarter of an acre in size on the North Fork Ranger District. 


   Forest Service officials have discovered evidence of extensive resource damage near Camp 60, a popular site for camping and off-highway vehicle use, on the North Fork Ranger District of the Nez-Perce Clearwater National Forests.
   An area that was, until recently, a beautiful meadow, has now been transformed into a giant mud bog, covering approximately one quarter of an acre of National Forest System Lands. In addition, new illegal routes have been developed, crossing through area streams.
   While an exact date of when the resource damage occurred has yet to be determined, Forest Service officials believe that the activity took place very recently, perhaps within the past two weeks.
   If anyone has information pertaining to this incident, contact Law Enforcement Officer Steve Bryant at 875-1131.
