Hwy 17 sucks most of the time. I don't fear the road it's just that there is always traffic. I'm heading to Reno tomorrow for the California Christmas Tree Assoc. convention. Maybe I can get those FOPs to you next week in the evening. Text me maybe.

10-4. I'll talk to my wife. Maybe Thursday night? I'll be home all day grinding redwood stumps Friday.
OK, I talked to Rob a few days ago. He has not heard of any liability issues or any change from past practices. He did say he would talk to Jeanie Marioni (Volunteer Council). Since he has not called with an update, I'm pretty sure we are cool on the legal front.
So plan on the GTG as normal ...
Ranger Sandy is on vacation in the Rockies, so we won't hear from her for a couple of weeks.
Arron, Dave, Tyler - need to have a face to face ...

We do indeed, and soon. Glad to hear that things are still looking good for the GTG. If this one's going to be volunteer/work party oriented, then we'll need to have a long list of stuff that needs done. Having a clear understanding of what we can cut (and must NOT cut) will much appreciated. Hoping the hazard tree assessment will be completed beforehand as planned.
Good idea.
thanks. I'm booked, won't be able to make it.
I'm in.

You'll be missed Chris. Will have more work days in the winter and early spring (while the bird nesting hold is off from Nov-April or so), so you'll have a chance to get your hands dirty there again. Thanks again for the stuff you dropped off at the park.
Outstanding!
Hope everybody is unscathed from the shaking of the earth.
I was ill Friday night and only slept a couple hours so last night the quake could have been centered here and I would have slept through it. Amanda woke up from it but she said no dogs were barking so no big deal.

Shook here pretty good. We're only 20-something miles from the epicenter. House made a lot of noise. Woke me up. Kitchen light fixture was swinging for a while. Lost power for a few minutes. An old wind up pendulum clock that hasn't ran in decades....................started up after the quake and is still running. Weird.

Funny as about 15 years ago we had a quake that stopped our two grandfather clocks.
It tickled the seismographs up here but nobody felt anything.
Friends in Santa Cruz County said they felt it but I slept right through it. I spent the day Saturday splitting firewood so I was tired.
I feel sorry for the folks in Napa. Looks like lots of damage up there.

ckelp

We're about 10 miles from the epicenter and definitely felt it. Like ckelp, almost knocked us out of bed. Bookcases tipped over, as did one glass door cabinet with nicknacks in it - the glass doors didn't survive, most of the nicknacks did. Contents of cabinets in kitchen landed on tile floor, kind of fatal for plates, glasses, and ceramic bowls. Luckily, the chainsaws didn't suffer any damage. Some minor damage to plaster but no structural damage.
This video shows damage to some of the buildings in downtown Napa.

Wow Charlie I was wondering how the Napa property faired. Glad to hear you're alright. Sorry to hear about the damage. Those folks in Napa really got hit hard.
A lot of wineries lost entire vintages with all barrels being destroyed for a given year. Others lost huge collections of bottles going back many decades that can never be replaced. it will be some time before all the damage is assessed.
Charlie...glad you're okay.
Aaron, the ranch did quite well. It is more distant from the epicenter and sits on practically solid rock. Jaye and Liz lost a few glasses but that was about it. We're now living in Napa (moved about 3 weeks ago) and our house is pretty much on the valley floor, anything but solid rock. BTW, there's still a bunch of madrone we're saving for you plus a sizable oak to be bucked if you want to exercise one of your big saws before the GTG.
Thanks, Bob. Napa was very fortunate to have no deaths due to the earthquake. It hit at 3:20 in the morning when almost everyone was in bed. There certainly would have been fatalities if the shaking started 12 hours later when folks were up and about.
But enough about the earthquake. I'd prefer to look forward to removing a bunch of hazard trees at Bothe this fall.
