The ones the loggers pick up and carry out get used for lumber, or paper.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-8992868986734341472010-11-02T00:10:42.787-04:002010-11-02T00:10:42.787-04:00Joan- perhaps I didn't explain well enough.

It was an awful mess.<br /><br />Carol- So much of the Manistee National Forest is mature, or nearly so, it's really a good thing to have sections cleared occasionally. As painful as it seems, if nothing is done it might all "crash" in just a few short years, since it's so much the same age. <br /><br />rainfield- did you like my extra "B?"<br /><br />Dennis- that's it exactly. You know just what I'm talking about. I didn't see this one (I was away when it happened), but I did see the one at the state park in 1998. But I was too dumb to take pictures. I sure wish I had. It was really amazing.<br /><br />Ann- It was a WONDERFUL day. Ellen and I hadn't gotten together for months, and you would have thought we were a couple of real gabbers... we had a lot to catch up on! And we got to do it outside.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-47278589426028673112010-11-02T00:09:57.784-04:002010-11-02T00:09:57.784-04:00What happens to the tree lolWhat happens to the tree lolmizztravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02995708436300355570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-65233040920079538142010-11-01T16:12:08.993-04:002010-11-01T16:12:08.993-04:00Love that blue sky shot.

You could see a trail of flattened trees running in a line off into the distance. It was pretty amazing. I stole the effect later for one of my books.The Oceanside Animalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894063884048051561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-77909073291603859292010-11-01T05:59:26.410-04:002010-11-01T05:59:26.410-04:00Hmmm....I can smell the pressure on you to look fo...Hmmm....I can smell the pressure on you to look for interest things...rainfield61https://www.blogger.com/profile/01334864123466123667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-52604273216700858352010-11-01T02:57:03.747-04:002010-11-01T02:57:03.747-04:00Another good days work, Areas that have been clear...Another good days work, Areas that have been cleared do look terrible but in time gain from it, we may not see the mature trees but hopefully our grandchildren will :)Duxbury Ramblershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171959685125369534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-71016950271168812642010-10-31T23:07:19.061-04:002010-10-31T23:07:19.061-04:00Nothing makes me sadder than to take a ride out in...Nothing makes me sadder than to take a ride out into the woods to places we have loved over the years only to find them clear cut by the loggers. I understand and support select logging, but when I see bare areas like that it really saddens me.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.com
