Bottom left pic...the Cat that I drive in the Summer months and a view of Mt. Lassen.   Same Mt. as my Banner pic on the website pages.  Bottom right, Clearing brush for planting a new forest.  Nearly all manzanita....so much manzanita, so little time.  : (
Two pics below,  more manzanita 
Abandoned gold mine in an area near where I was logging some years ago.  I didn't go in but was really tempted.
Fuzzy pic of south side Mt. Shasta, about 100 miles away from where I was working.  
Cat 966C loader and log landing....have "picked" lots of burl with that machine.  I can't help it.....when I see 'em, I pick 'em.       
It ain't always warm and dry in sunny California.  : (
