I didn't have to go far to get this photo today.I drove to Seaside for work, and as I rounded the bend to the logging office, I was completely surrounded by clear-cut operations. This area was devastated by the Dec 07 storm, and they are currently logging the downed timber so they can replant and start again. The sun wasn't cooperating with me, but there is equipment at the bottom of the hill, and a load staged at the top of the hill, if you look closely.
It's a mess, but it was neat to see and hear an active logging unit so close.

Looks like quite the project. The closest I've been to logging operations was that my dad once flew seedlings in our airplane from Kodiak out to Danger Bay. Ironically, that was the trip he crashed the plane... and it was the seedlings that kept the plane afloat long enough for the cold water to revive him so he could escape.
The drive to Seaside sounds nice. It was a good day for driving.
It's good that they can use the wood and replant.
