Kind of late notice, but better late than never! Is anyone up for doing some tree harvesting/cruising in the north Jemez this Friday?

Where has this month gone? I haven't been able to plan anything. We will probably just head up to the Manzanos on Friday for a tree, don't want to disappoint the rest of the family.

Haha it really did fly by! I hadn’t either. I was holding out to since I thought I was going to finish up the cruiser in time but I think it’s still a week or two out. That sounds good, though! I hope you guys find a nice one! And Happy Thanksgiving!

I was in the Jemez yesterday and it was a good time as usual. I was on 376 which doesn't have a lot of snow left and it's packed down icy in the shady spots. Curious how much more snow little higher elevations have.

We went up to the Manzanos today. Not a whole lot of trees, but found a couple good ones. Jack took his 4runner up this time so his sister and her husband could go. Found a few decent trails and had some fun. No snow.
Got our Christmas tree in the Manzanos today. The Manzanos never disappoint always a nice drive on FR 422.

Ummmm .... I don't remember.
Haha you might have.
No trouble finding a tree in the Manzanos? I notice the Mountainaire RD map says there may not be a lot of Douglas-fir and white fir due to the tussock moth outbreak.
Don't pet the tussock moths. They might look cute, but they are bad juju.
This year we pulled out a 14Ft white fir. I used a trail just east of Red Canyon camp ground and pulled out Douglas firs the last 4 years. If you would like the coordinates LMK.
Yes their awful critters. A female moth got close to me last year and I immediately got a rash from its hairs.

We got ours from about the same place I think.
My partner and our friend used to work on the cibola so it was a lot of fun to go up with another friend who has a camry to grab some trees. We bagged them to look as suspicious as possible returning home
