Yesterday, was Canyon Thursday, Oct. 13th. I met White Glove Chimney at the Forest Ranch Store so I could guide them down to the Canyon to clean the “House” wood stove and chimney and the “YAHB” wood stove & chimney. Part of the winter check list. Also last weekend we finished our 2nd load of short dried manzanita logs and stacked them under the pole barn. Manzanita burns long, and warm. It actually has a bit fewer BTUs per cord than Live Oak* – but at the Canyon we have LOTS more of Manzanita than Live Oak. ( I did not know this but here’s a chart)

So Juan Arturo Gutierez is set for the winter.
We are “harvesting” the Manzanita to the north (up canyon) from the pole barn on the road to Juans’ Trail / Dipper Pond.
