Thassa fact! However, I wish my crew got to get around more. Unfortunately, we're pretty much overloaded as it is, even on our tiny little ownership (~100,000 acres).

where are you based out of?
A federal agency on the south end of Puget Sound. Sorry I gotta be a bit cagey about who, exactly, but I'm sure you can figure it out easily enough.

Had a small trail blazin job this morning. It may have been a 150 yard jog or so cutting the swampy corner off of the orignal trail. It was thick and thorny in there to say the least. Before pic from yesterday afternoon. Just fell a couple and mapped it out. The real bs began this morning. Doing this to make a better access road to get about 1/4 mile into the property.
Couple of ugly sticks. The thorny crap in the foreground filled in all of that empty space.
Would this be considered a coon shank? Or is that species or region specific?

The wind is blowin 20 to 30 here with gusts up to 40 or so. It helped with some and got a little sketchy on others. Got to play with some new stuff today though. My modded single bit and some K&Hs. Found a place about 30 min away that sells em and they don't kill me on the price. I added about an inch to the pall and gained a half a pound.
Had to castrate the coon before I took it down.
After from first pic.
Bottom of the hill. The road is mostly for the bigger job further in. A couple hundred trees in a soft area. I may have to wait for the ground to get hard. It was pretty mushy when I was marking them this afternoon.

A Coon #$%& is a conifer thing. Usually around snow break, or other defect from when the tree was young, and a second, or multiple tops grow to make a new canopy. One or two usually win, and the rest either die or turn real peakeked. Usually a Coon #$%& is a dead one. Hence, it resembles the bone in a racoon's penis, or so the old timers said. Ya, I know. People were just as easily ammused before Al Gore invented the internet! LOL

A few pics from this week. Back at Swan Lake. Aaron (Husky) and I (Stihl) had to peel a few more off the cut for the road contractors. Nice as Grand Fir get around here, tall and straight without much taper - Sam

The Lake Trout (Mack) has really put a hurting on Swan Lake. . . The Fin & Fur have actually been netting them out to make more room for Native Cutthroat and others.
Swan Lake is a good fishing/boating lake though. . . You'd thoroughly enjoy it slowp.

Not about falling, well, maybe falling down. The boy (The Used Dog) and I will be off today hunting the elusive huckleberry. It has been a dismal year for them. I gave up.
The trail guys came in and shared information. If it is true, they'll be getting a huckleberry pie. They told of a field where the berries exist and are nice in quantity and size.
The Used Dog and I will be packing in a mile or so to get there. I plan to spend the day in the patch if it turns out to be good. Yum.
Maybe some more taunting pictures?

You are evil.
If you post any more "taunting pictures" of huckleberry pie I'll post pictures of sitting in the warm sunshine on the back deck at Grass Valley, in cut-offs and T-shirts, in January. I'll post them when it's been raining in Randle for three weeks and you have to dress up like you're going on a polar expedition just to bring more stove wood in. So there.

Well, time to start loading up the packs, with gallon bags. Pie crust was on sale at Wally World when I last visited, and is in the freezer. 
Taunting done for today. :greenchainsaw: Maybe.
