Really something very different for me, a recent history of logging on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula http://www.williamdietrich.com/finalforest.htm

A very balanced look at logging practice and the ensuing Spotted Owl controversy, Dietrich interviews participants from all facets of the issue of logging America's last ancient forest. Having recently visited parts of it I can only say I'm happy for the preservation efforts even tho it has had an effect on the timber industry.


A little bit of virgin forest and the heart of the Olymipcs that I saw this past September, one thing for sure - I'm going back, it's beautiful beyond words.

Thats beautiful Mark. You are a one man/woman advertising campaign for your state. I would never have had an inkling of going to Washington state if not for your pics and explanations.

From Rattray And Beyond by the late Frederick Patterson - published (privately) last year... about a Cameronian who served in the same place as my dad; passed in 2008; never even knew about it before last weekend (tough link to follow - only being sold locally to where he lived) - his wife sent it out pdq - same person put me in touch with a living survivor... a very humbling experience and looks like a good read...

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
