| The newest addition to our hiking arsenal-the backpack cooler. |
| Anyone know why this is done? There were quite a few trees this way. |

| This makes me so upset. There was a trash can just a little further down the trail. |
I welcome hospitable, intelligent discussion. I do not welcome mean-spirited comments. Though they are "moderated" I post pretty much everything, with a very, very small exception-that being spam and those who aim to hurts others intentionally. I'd love hear what you have to say, otherwise!
The markings on the trees I think is how they get it to die/fall down on its own. By cutting a ring in it, it essentially starves the tree and it dies, making it easier to take down.
ReplyDeleteI figured it had something to do with wanting them down, but wasn't sure the technique or motivation. There wasn't a ranger near that day we were out (though there were tons of folks out since it was gorgeous!) so we didn't have anyone to ask.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
