You need a Gopro camera attached the your hanble bars.The sounds remind me of the days growing up on Portage lake outside of Dollar Bay. How I love traveling up to the Harbor. Going to try and make the loop through the Harbor around the 4th of July. Take care of yourself we need our Harbor Fix!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763578356028527119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423014135759554976.post-50890047051465217622012-06-06T12:31:23.811-04:002012-06-06T12:31:23.811-04:00Hi Amanda, yeah, logging isn't pretty.

It's the case with so many of the products and foods we use, people can be shocked when they see how they're made. <br /><br />As you say, paper comes from trees. :-) But just as importantly, forests need to be managed, and part of that is regular harvesting. Left alone, forests become overgrown, the floor gets choked with debris, and forests then "harvest" themselves by means of fire. When people live nearby, fire isn't a great option obviously, so it's preferable to harvest the trees through environmentally-responsible logging. This is also good for the wildlife, renewing their habitat. The best way to regenerate and get new growth sometimes involves manual replanting, but often the better way is to allow the regeneration to happen naturally. <br /><br />Love your blog! :-) And congrats on your wedding,<br /><br />- Gretchenfiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740579444417949021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423014135759554976.post-77606179921620462022012-06-05T21:54:12.103-04:002012-06-05T21:54:12.103-04:00Wow, that was quite intense although a bit concern...Wow, that was quite intense although a bit concerning. The lumber industry is pretty revolting but at least it's renewable, and probably necessary in this day and age. The Beaver Pond audio was amazing, taking me back to many camping trips up in Da' Keweenaw. Thanks for taking the time and effort to capture & post it all Amanda!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03246291062038339169noreply@blogger.com
