BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES



BEFORE

AFTER

The before picture is the parking lot about 7:30 am this morning, before the guy in the Orange Hitachi boom tractor, carefully positioned the bucket on the opposite direction of the fall and jumped down with his chainsaw, checked wind direction, hopped back in the Hitachi and gently nudged the trees over. One right after the other.  Very quick, didn't crush any cars, very professional.  I stood in the lobby and got a little misty.  The view is quite spectacular, we can see clear across the valley to Fat Elk Road.  Next project is set up electric supply for the new spot for the MRI van on Wednesdays, it will take up eight spots of employee parking.  Lots of us are car pooling, I fortunately have a private chauffeure.

Fat Elk Road? No kidding?

Too bad about the trees, I can see a day when they will all be gone. Progress.

Yep, Fat Elk Road, we have a lot of Native American name places here. Our local native tribe is called Coquille Tribe.

Yeah progress is slow here, ever since three of the FOUR major saw mills shut down it has been economically depressed. We think the 20 million put into the hospital will turn over in the community at least four times, that, my friend, is a fair chunk of change.

Canyon County has a road called
Chicken Dinner Road. There are unique names everywhere it seems.
