A Week in the Winds

[SkunkedAgain]

Thanks Pat, it is amazing how that country affects us. I love being able to experience it. One thing you mentioned really rung some bells for me. We cleared trails on the tribal lands where we could use chain saws, but when we got to wilderness there are no power tools allowed so our progress slowed way down, but the next day a team of two Forest Service guys showed up with crosscut saws and they opened up all the dead fall on several trail segments over the next couple days. Those guys need to have a huge thank you from those of us that like to visit the back country. We now know what a task they have to do to keep things open for us. Crazy how big of trees they can cut with a hand saw and how nice of job they do. Anyway I'm sure greatful. Thanks again Pat. Later J
