I do hack my way alot and there are more open spots near established growth here. They said that when the settlers first arrived here you could walk huge spans of the province under a canopy of hardwood forests. Then they cut it all down for lumber. I would have loved to see those forests. I remember reading posts on clearing for forest fire prevention now that you mention it. Stop turning me into a multiple return visits a day blog follower too ;) Coming back to old posts, remembering old posts while commenting on 3 threads..what am I becoming!EGBhttps://eagergridlessbeaver.wordpress.com/2021/01/26/first-night-in-the-tiny-off-grid-house/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-43657590480755716732021-01-26T05:28:10.372-08:002021-01-26T05:28:10.372-08:00EGB, part of the reason the woods are so open here...EGB, part of the reason the woods are so open here is a combination of heavy pine and oak tree growth which cuts down the summer sunlight and my father grooming the underbrush (which, around here, is pretty much a fire hazard if left unchecked). If you were to cross the fence into the neighboring property, you would find it much more overgrown.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-8150932139228226832021-01-26T04:27:54.233-08:002021-01-26T04:27:54.233-08:00..the woods are so open there.

The wood is slightly red - I have never seen anyone work in it (a shame, really; I think it could be well developed), but it certainly burns hot.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-80724857201790458992021-01-13T18:01:19.788-08:002021-01-13T18:01:19.788-08:00It is STxAR.

This is one of the things that always bothers me about the concept that cities are "the future".

You are lucky to have a place where you can do that. I think maybe that is why so many urban people are so frazzled - they have no down time to contemplate your place in the Universe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
