White Salmon, WA sure has a lot of poison oak, it's right at the base of the cascades.

The hefty poison oak stops there. Our area only has thorny plants and whippy plants, and nettles. Lots of nettles in the swampy areas. It was hinted that due to me answering No, to the question or poison oak reactions, I might have to go south to work a day or two a week. I think they have somebody who also is not reactive down there now. It is a long drive.
Hey, the ground is white here and the wind is howling. The ski area will be closed today unless things calm down. Their report says, "Blizzard conditions."

fallers truck
regen opening, 250' deep from bench, about 1500' long, SMZ below thinned, already logged when I took this one. Nice 20-24" dbh poplar the whole way. even-aged block. We had a processor limb and top this block!! We only had to buck the trees at about 40'.
modified shelterwood, cutters select, after logging--- another regeneration technique, 2 age classes. Oakier ridgetop.

Hammerlogging: That looks nice. No scarring and good trees left. The very stuff people want to see around here.

LOL. . . Then I'll pass on your summer temps and humidity. It'll get above 100 here in the summer, but the humidity is usually pretty low. . . More of a dry heat -- which is quite hot enough for me anyway.

40 huh? Jeez, that is cold.
LOL
yep that's what happens when you move to Florida, It is the weather from October to March that make the summer Humidity bearable.
Winters are perfect with a small outdoor heat source and a little fire water.
check out my new stove thread, I was tired of the Chimeras cracking and an open fire pit is out of the question here in city limits.

thought i'd throw in a pic
out of 100 trees i dropped we hauled out 42 logs.
cutting in the burned area that was hit hard in the april 9th fires.
"logging" what we can for firewood; a two for one deal for the landowner...
gets alot of wood out of the burned areas, leave stumps 3ft. high, as he'll doze what's left at a later date. should be an easier slash burn i'd think. we'll see.
only got one pic so far.

That's a good looking stump!
Cutting all that burned wood sure is hard on your equipment though. . . That ash and charcoal is abrasive as all get-out.

I got a buddy in Orlando. . . I think he'd wear full blown arctic gear in 25 degree weather. LOL
The humidity sure does make it seem colder though. . . A wet cold vs. a dry cold -- kinda like the heat thing.

Especially around Helena -- a member here's been cutting in it.

The power came back on. It went off this morning. This is quite the blow.
My old neighborhood is covered in branches and limbs. Where I used to park my car, there is a Doug-fir top laying on the ground. I used to worry about those trees in the wind. They were topped about 15 years ago and the tops grew back, and we know what that means.
Twinkle might have to go to work tomorrow, I might throw the Barbie Saw in too. I hope our woodcutters have been keeping the roads open...
Sorry about the thread drift. That faller's pickup looks much too tidy.
