We get more drizzle than Seattle. Also more snow. There is no snow this morning.
Since cutting blowdown is not our usual job, there were some moments of, Ruh Roh. I found out I can still sprint and not rip my leg up. Lugging a saw up a steep cutbank to get one tree can get old. But it was a nice break from paperwork and politics.
We left one. It was a gnarly old Doug, which had fallen across the road and was hung up good in trees on the other side of the road. It would have been a soft wood version of that tree in the chainsaw forum, that the guys were trying to get down. We figured if we whacked away on it, all it would do would be to stand up and be more of a danger. We had no winch, and the backhoe got sent away to a higher priority area. People can easily drive under it.
