A Hike and a Fire

We had a winter weekend so we decided to go for a hike up to Goodwin Lake. This trailhead tends to be popular for people wanting to take their dogs for a hike but I guess the weather let us have it all to ourselves. Making it that much better.Goodwin Lake.

Do ya think a snack has their attention!

Sunday led to this.
All summer long at the house there has been some forest control going on. Mainly due to the infestation of the pine beetle that is killing forests throughout the region but to also help fire management as well as promote growth. So basically a lot of logging go on. In return it leaves lots of slash piles to be burned. What a better time then when its snowing.

These piles are at least as big as a dump truck!

Many, many piles to be burned.
