There's three of us in the same boat. We are all looking for other jobs. Lies and more lies.

Bummer. I've sat by the phone a few times myself wondering if I screwed up. The answer has been "No" the owner just didn't feel like taking time to call me.

This is land owner issue. He ticked off some previous clients and they are debating whether they are going to let him trough their land to access this next job. They own the only access point.
The previous logger that the mill hired left a bad mess. There where also some security cameras on a gate that where tampered with. The owners suspect that there are loads that they didn't get paid for. The owners have more money than Rockefeller.

Sounds like a damn mess. Are you married to Colorado or could you work some place else?

I wouldn't mind going home to the U.P. one bit. The problem here in Colorado is that I have a house that I can't sell. Its too far underwater. If I walk away the bank can and will take everything else that I own in addition to the house (Colorado law).

A stump down the street for your viewing pleasure. Thought of putting it in advanced falling cuts but settled for this thread

The old saying "it's better to be lucky than good sometimes" comes to mind. They missed the fence!
Are these the ones? They're just a couple miles to your east.
EDIT: on closer look, those are just landings prepared before a sale. These are more likely the "dice units":
No, the dice units are PERFECT round dots, either of leave trees or clearcuts north and maybe west a hair from Mt Adams. They were an adaptive management project on retention and non-retention. The district office gets a lot of phone calls about them. I doubt any research is continuing due to the changing of people and budgets.
Your photo looks like the Cowlitz Valley. I'm thinking those might be helicopter units that my neighbor cut on. He said they boated across the river and hiked in to some ot the units. I'm thinking the logs were flown down to a pasture on the highway side.

AHA! I do remember something about those. Was it part of the Long-Term Ecosystem Study? We have part of that study on out land, but you'd have to know it was there to see it. There's nothing so dramatic here.
Also: five bucks says that "User 'treeswarper'" is you.

Sounds like it is since it is supposed to go on for 100 years or maybe 80 by now.
