Hemlock removal up the Mountain
I've been up the mountain fairly often over the past few weeks removing hazard trees over the cabins and I'm surprised at the ratio of lightning struck trees. Of the ones I'm removing, about 1/3 have been hit by lightning. The others I'm removing have had their tops snapped-out and have developed rot. At first I thought this strange, but as the majority of the trees I'm working on are 400 years+, a lot can happen in that time.
