    Beautiful pictures, I was wondering where you were located. It looked a lot like my 2010 trip, but the mountains didn't appear as majestic.
    In 2010 we went from Prince Rupert to Prince George, Ft. Dawson, Ft Nelson. Watson Lake to Whitehorse and then back to Anchorage.
    On the edge of my seat looking out for what was around the next bend. Beautiful country. Would like to the trip again only allow twice as long to do it.

    Always looking good Sean! Pretty country and sights! Glad the weather has turned better for the fires. Breathing that for months is never good. Glad all is well bud! :thumbs:

    Thanks! Yeah breathing smoke gets old. Head aches, sore eyes, lethargic. I have family on Vancouver island that got it bad for a bit so I imagine you had a good stretch of crummy interior air hey?

    Thank you! Did they close the bush for a spell for you as well? I didnt keep track of the closure in Washington state.

    We did. In fact we had two fires one relatively close to my area by about an hour. Near Mt Rainier. That was a couple weeks ago
    At the time the whole smoke just came down pretty good around here. Smoke for almost 2 weeks in July . Hope your family is safe and all. Safe cutting!

    Thanks FatBoy85. Rainier is a fun area. I climbed liberty ridge on the north face of Rainier when I lived out west. Is your yard full now or will you have more room if a good opportunity comes your way?

    Likely to pick up more once I get some better stacking room made up. Also gotta fix a light conduit in my car, trailer lights aren't working right so not much to haul yet. Im still working on my locust pile but have a bunch to haul from my parents from the pile I left. Soon. I wanna say I have room but the level space is rare.

    I certainly am looking forward to the trip:). Been over 10 years since I was there last. Beautiful part of our country.

    Funny how you asked this but when I picked up that birch the guy asked if he could call on me later. I told him absolutely! Someone texted me today ahout a load from them. I had to turn it down since no trailer!:doh:

    It's amazing when you put the word out you are looking for wood how fast it starts showing up

    I actually didn't put word out recently at all but because Sean asked if I was going to get more, I wasn't expecting a text from the company that helped me out. One hand washing the other.

    Sometimes I just want to sit on a stump and look around. Ill often go for a bush cruise just to poke around in the woods to see what kind of trouble I can get into.
