Buchenhain side of the Park - Aftermath Hurricane Niklaus

This side of the park did not fare any better


Throughout the forest, trees were blown over.  They seemed to
go in lines.  Probably when one fell down, it was like a
domino affect.  The damage is breathtaking.




Although most paths and trails have been cleared, not all.  This
shows what it looks like right after the storm.  I didn't dare go
into the downed trees to get a closer look.  Not only do the damaged and
downed trees have to be cleared but often neighboring trees.
Until this path is completely worked, it is off limits due to
possible falling trees and branches.

We have been having really big storms here too...luckily for me they have NOT resulted in trees falling into my house but I have had the recent pleasure of using the shop-vac in the office basement entry way...and now the smell of vinegar (to cover the stinky moldy smell) is making me hungry for egg salad sandwiches!
