It’s cone collection season… Shout out to all the folks, contract, coop agreement, and force account, collecting cones this year!
*************
All- I will be on a posting break for the next two weeks. On this break, I’ll still have time to post the work of others, and to comment. So if you have an interesting story or question or hypothesis about something that you would like to share, this would be a great time to do it. Please send your thoughts to me (sharon) at forestpolicypub.com.
There are many of you out there from whom I’d like to hear more outside of the comment format. My thought is that if you can write a thoughtful comment, you could also write a post. It would open the knowledge, experience, topics and stories far beyond those of the current contributors.
Also, next week, I’ll be volunteering at the SAF Convention in Loveland, Colorado. If you’d like to chat, also send an email to the above address.
Again, please consider writing a piece for The Smokey Wire! Not just in the next two weeks of course.
It is cone season! We’re currently camping above Tom’s Place, at French Camp on the Inyo NF. It’s in a Pinyon grove and nuts are everywhere! So tasty!
All of Rock Creek canyon is fantastic! I hear there is a little bit of color in some of the trees, right now.
Yes. Color is just beginning in Rock Creek. It should be really good in a week. This place is quite different from our home in Montana. However I grew up in Bishop so I’m at home collecting pine nuts!
I was there, many years ago, in early November. The weather was ‘drought-y’, but nice for us explorers. Even many more years ago, I skied Paiute Pass to Rock Creek, over three days on telemark skis.
