Wicked dry up there mowing yesterday. No rain this week either... temps in the 90s... Rasp bushes are growing over one of our trails. JD makes a gooder bush hawg... View is still OK, but the alder growth, all over again (after going at it a few years ago), is taking over... again...
You can't turn your back on alders. They are the weed tree of the PNW. Every logging slash is covered with them after a few short years.
