South of Eugene

It's that time of year again. We went Christmas tree hunting in the South Hills of Eugene on a friend's property. Found a nice grand fir and took out a couple of other young firs while we were at it. If humans can't maintain the oak grasslands by periodically burning them, the least we can do is take out a few conifers manually now and again.
Big storm rolling through Eugene today. Wind gusts of 50+ mph. Nice day to be inside decorating a Christmas tree.
