It's an Echo. Oh...I said that in another thread too. My bad... :D

If one doesn't know one's neighbors out here in the hinterlands, one is missing out on a lot of potential help. I don't own a tractor with a bucket, but two neighbors do, and I have benefited from good relations with both of them when I needed. If the need to call in a Life Flight occurs...

Tough life for a tree.

I used to be really persnickety about what firewood I went after; putting in the time and effort to locate on the NF, cut, split, haul, stack, finish split, etc. Almost without exception, old growth Douglas fir. Now retired, I find myself using almost anything handy...from our property, even...

Nice color, for sure.

I never did either...until it was too late.

That is dusty, for true. The mask sounds like a good idea.

Yes, some. More often what we see is damage to infrastructure built at the high tide line, rather than significant shoreline loss. That could be as simple as a wooden stairway to the beach, or as significant as a house foundation built on the sand dunes that are always going away and coming...

I could not tell you. It was closed when we were in the area.
