Trying them all
Was out at Mt. St. Helens yesterday and saw and heard evidence of how many of the big growth Douglas Firs got blasted by that event in 1980. Was at a park today in SW Washington and there were some old Firs there that had escaped the axe. It was really awesome to see those and visualize what the forests must have looked like 100 years ago... My brother in law, who I was walking with, said that there are very few mills anymore that will even accept old growth trees as their more modern equipment can't handle the large diameters. I was picking his brain about trees the entire time we were walking as it was fascinating to me seeing I'm from the other end of the country. I'll post up a couple pics.
