There were some big trees cut down near Camp El-O-Win by the Forest Service. These trees died in the drought.
One of the US Forest Service foresters counted the rings on this tree to see how old the tree was and how often fires came through the area. Up until white people started intervening in fires, fires came through the area pretty regularly. After fires were suppressed, not so much.
This old bulldozer has been abandoned for years. It came out of an old mine that got closed down maybe a dozen or so years back.

The casting on the engine block.
Standing on the big stump.
Sitting on the bulldozer. I bet with a little work, the engine would turn over and this thing could get running again.
