En route to an old-growth stand along Mt. Baker Highway we stopped roadside to take a picture of the area leading to Nooksack Falls
Weather is starting to get a little nicer
.
If I had a dollar for every hitchhiker I've picked up along 542 I'd probably be near a hundred dollars richer! Beautiful photos .aspx!
Nooksack falls is really awesome too, it just bums me out how they have it all fenced off w/ skull and crossbone signs warning of the danger. It really takes away from the rawness it would have without such human cattle fences. I guess idiots must have been falling into that canyon and drowning or something.

Forest Fire--Marion Mountain--"North Rogers Incident".
I experienced a neat afternoon. . . Had us a little forest fire (unknown cause) about 7 miles due West of me. . . Right above my cousins house. It's the only local fire we had this year, even though it was awful hot and dry.
Mutual Aid Response. . . Our local Fire Dept. established an Incident Command early on. . . A DNRC State Bell was on scene at 3:30 P.M, and they put out a request for two dozers. They also called in a K-Max from Libby (75 miles west) at 4:14 P.M. As far as I can tell, DNRC has taken over command. The K-Max is due to leave right now back for Libby.
I heard it was 13 acres for a size-up at 4:48 P.M.--low pressure moved in with a little sprinkle around 5:02 P.M. and really put a lid on it for a bit.
Another little rain burst is moving through, and bringing up some wind. Word on the scanner, the IC is watching it run a little, and was warning others of a possible crest of the top, and spotting ahead.
Rogers Lake is right there, so the Helo-Tenders were making 2 minute turns, so that was good. Helo-Tender 191 (the Bell) is leaving as I type, and just gave a size up of 15 acres. . . So them guys have been doing real good. He said it's still hot on the NE side, and the dozers almost have a tie-in with the handline on the SW side (my cousins house side).
I guess they plan on hitting it all night to keep it from braking lines. The Bell just flew past my place (8:45 P.M.). I think this one is in the bag, as the rain is starting to pick up now.
The best thing is all the line-logging in that area. . . That really helps with fires! But logging don't help anyone right?
Makes me miss firefighting and logging for sure though ! LOL
Here's a couple pic's. . . They were taken from my back door.
Edit: My cousin just called and they were gone all day. . . Guess the fire got within a 1/4 mile of the house. :jawdrop:

I'll try to send you last night's frog strangler. It poured. It rained so hard I could hear it on the roof, and I don't have a metal roof but do have good insulation.
The substitute for the closure of the big mill and forest service office is running this weekend--a big flea market. They're all complaining about the rain. I answer with a smile, we need it. I don't care if the tourii get muddy feet or the marketeers have to use tarps, we were very dry here.
So, expect some rain.

Great thread!
Yeah, we don't have trees like that in the East, but the gumption is the same!
The Adirondacks of New York, where men are men, and the women are too! Where a favorite pick-up line in the local watering hole, appropriately called The Bear Trap, is.. "Hey, nice tooth..."

Hear Hear!!
i'm partial to Spotted Owl, marinated in the blood of freshly clubbed baby seals, topped with fresh orange slices stolen from the hippies, and protesters we like to go beat with ax handles...and yes, wash that owl down with icy cold beer!
Ok guys, I may live on the wrong coast, and be just a firewooder, however the history you speak of sounds wonderful, and the food delicious. Maybe I need to move about 3,000 miles

Those were the days...if only I'd been born in '38.
They were still using those shovels here in the 1980s, and the guys running them were experts. I wish I'd packed a camera around then.

38? why 38? Why Not "97".
here's some pics from the Sedro Wolley area taken by Darius Kinsey around 1897.
My great grand dad on the right near barrel. George Chapman. Chapman Logging.
His brother John chapman in the pic close to camera.
Remember being a kid and watching the big Warehauser off road trucks runnin along their roads next to high way 410 always got a thrill seeing those giant logs and loads those were the days.
