Being long n lanky's an advantage dealing with big conifer's like that, no doubt!

But being a munchkin has advantages too.

At least in eucs n stuff!

I'm 5'8" @ 155.

Live long n prosper Rico!

Do you know Tom Craven Rico?

Craven Logging Lake Tahoe?

Gave me my first genuine Spencr Logging Tape!

He pretty much worked his magic from the ground though.
