It was a cruise only a forester could enjoy, big plantations, and being sold to an investment group. 

It is hard to enjoy any cruise in the Deep South in June/July :).

Yeah, I can't imagine the heat down there. Only in the 70-80's here and today was super humid. I was wet in about 15 minutes from perspiration of woods walking, even the cap was soaked and dripping from the beak.  Of course crawling across two big ravines with 70% slope can work up a good sweet in a cool day. ::)

Degree: BSF University of Arkansas 1976
Masters work 1977 & 78 Idaho/Washington/OSU - didn't complete it

Years of experience:40 -  I started in the woods in the 8th grade working Purchaser road construction as a grunt.

Areas of expertise: Eating and fine cold beer.  In forestry probably sampling and cruising, silviculture and management (anymore that's more than likely personnel).

Having worked in the South, Northern Rockies, Central Rockies and Pacific NW I've had a good run.  Figure 10 - 15 more good years in me to see the rest.

Rocky,

I probably competed against you in the Conclave.  1976 was Stephen F. Austin.  If you were there, I am sure that you can never forget that rain.

I thought 1976 was Mississippi State, I never made it to Texas.  Florida in 1973, NC State in 1974, UGA in 75, and MSU in 76.  'Course, there may have been drinking involved..............

I posted the above for Angie just in case anyone has tropical tree questions. Besides, I am pretty happy that we now have a full-time person, she graduated top of her class too.

Well, I competed against you in 1976 in UGA!  1976 was not in MSU, it was in Georgia.  1977 was in Stephen F. Austin.  1978 was in Clemson and 1979 was in Monticello, AR. 

"Sittin' in an barnyard,
Sittin' on a log,
Nothing stinks worse
Than an Arkansas Hog!"

Sorry, I could not resist the old chant :).  We heard, "ARK... ANS... AS ARKANSAS!! so many times that we poor Georgians had to retaliate ;D.  It was all in good fun.

WDH, bass fiddle player eh?  Well if you can lug that thing around I can certainly throw my guitar into the truck.  Maybe we'll meet and pick someday.

By the way, how many bluegrass bass players does it take to change a light bulb?  1,2 - 1,2 - 1,2......    ;D
