We had our first collection on Roberts Mt. this past weekend. Ryan and Tony came all the way from Seattle to dig and what a great weekend we had!
After a week of stormy weather the rains let up for Saturday and Sunday. Window open, skies cloudy, ground soft and wet, waning moon, perfect day for a dig!
Saturday we scouted for trees. We spotted a few good potentials on the way up to the project, I showed some I'd found and they found some others walking around. It was getting late to start a dig so some prospects were tagged for Sunday.
Sunday we hit it early morning, you could taste the excitement and anticipation in the air. We went first to the top of the mountain to look at the White Oak, I think we spent half the day removing two oaks. The rest of the day digging Yew and Live Oak. I think seven trees were hauled back to Seattle.
I know Ryan and Tony both had video and camera going, but I didn't get one pic. I hope they will share some comments and a few pics, because you really have to see it to believe it. Like kids in a candy shop we were!
