Helicopter, Chinook, log placement

Posted by Bopcha on
Yesterday morning, Judi and I joined the watershed, forest service management group, and watched while the copter picked up a full length tree from an invisible site and carried it down to Rock Creek and placed it somehow, we couldn't see how, in the stream. Later in the month we will be able to see where it went for they will be having tours. The Chinook was very impressive. It had a long cable from its belly, with a clasp on the end. The clasp was fastened to the big end of the log and it carried it to the placement site. There will be about 80 trees placed in different places on upper Rock Creek. We only watched four logs or four trips to place the logs.



I hope my description isn't too obscure to give you a glimpse of what we observed.



I talked to KC. She had just arrived in Colorado Springs at 2 p.m. my time.The dogs are soooooooo good. She will be at work in Omaha Monday.



Love from Bopcha in Corvallis.
