That smokestack, which has not been used in years, used to occasionally and happily belch black smoke which the Pacific winds quickly carried to Olympia, where it settled fetid and stagnant like in a bowl. It was our gift.

The view from Rabbit Hill
At least that is what I call the area of Cedar Street and Evergreen Place due to the fact rabbits outnumber people up there 500 to one. This is a view of McCleary looking northwest, where the Olympic Mountains taper off into hills. Mason County is in the distance. June 25, 2016

Junuary sky

Every year whenever June rolls around, we always expect the sun to show up, and every year we forget how overcast and chilly June can really be much of the time. Thus the term "Junuary."

Clearcut
Maxwell Hill area, June 10, 2012.
Not far from this ridge on the early evening of Sept. 29, 1949 a C-82 "flying boxcar" from McChord Air Force base crashed near where the three counties share a point on the border killing all three crewman. For decades the burned out fuselage remained in the woods and the spot became known as "airplane crash" to locals, especially loggers and hunters.
