With all of the dead sugar pine and white pine, we have been busy cutting down 100-200 year old trees, bucking them up, and getting ready to make them into lumber.
A portable sawmill came up to the meadows to make some lumber out of all this dead wood.
Beautiful planks. They are all blue-stained from the fungus that comes with the pine beetles.
We headed over to Camp El-O-Win to help take down and stack a couple of trees that recently died in the drought. This year the creek is flowing better than last year.
We moved the logs into a stack to cover them with plastic. The beetles that are helping to kill all these trees get trapped in the plastic and die rather than spread.
