I've been out in the northwest for the GAL convention. If you aren't a member, consider joining. There is a lot of experience and information available. After the GAL conference I headed up the coast to Alaska. Up the Taku river about 25 miles east of Juneau, Alaska is a lot of Sitka. Here is some destined to be part of a cabin. Notice the cut, split and stacked sitka in the background. Attachment: Taku-cabin-sitka.jpg Here is.. yup... firewood. Attachment: Taku-sitka-firewood.jpg And here is my souvenir! Attachment: Taku-sitka-mymando.jpg I'll split this when I get back home and if it seansons well... it will become an instrument. |

Unfortunately, I didn't have a barge to get more down the river to the port. The float plane pilots don't let you take too much cargo. I stopped in Sitka, AK as well. There is a lot of Sitka, red and yellow cedar there as well, but I was all logged out. Here's my big find while aboard the 'Chilcat' with Capt. Nate from Minnesota!

Here is a photo of the Tongass national forest near Ketchikan (the country's largest national forest). Notice where the trees had been clear cut. They are already growing back and without re-seeding. Attachment: TongassNatForest-regrowth.jpg The darker colored standing trees are sitka. The others are red and yellow cedar and hemlock. |
