Cutting Tricky Alders This is a scaffold I rigged up so I can reach this one, little bit tricky for me only being 6′ tall, here’s where I need Jack Sikma remember him? Played for the Sonics back in the late 70’s early 80’s under coach Lenny Wilkins, friend of mine used to bring me […]

Progress cutting Alders
Progress cutting Alders I took advantage of the beautiful weather Friday and managed to make good progress on cutting Alders and opening up more view. Some of these Alders are right at the slope of the ravine getting pretty high up there for me to reach with the chainsaw. I bought the smallest saw […]
Cleared Birch Trees

Spring Inspiration!
Spring Inspiration! Oh ya seeing the benefits of the clearing of last fall, the area here will be two spaces for longer term RV’s mine and one other lucky camper! I’ve trimmed the Alders in front that used to block the view of Grewink Glacier. The pasture up behind is home to herds of […]

Cutting and burning Alders
Cutting and burning Alders Cutting and burning Alders The view is really opening up and the bonfires continue. With the continued 39-40 degree weather it’s good working conditions. I want to get as much cut and cleared as I can. This will clear it out better to start with the dozer work. I should […]
Horses out the window
Horses out the window If you look closely you can see the horses up by the small trees, way back there, they must know the grass is growing too! They have actually been grazing these past few days. I’ve lived in this area over 20 years and this last to winters have been exceptionally […]
