BTW when you were flying around looking at those nets did you notice the
clear cuts? The country south of Olympic National Park looks like some of
the photos of Brazil. All those bare areas on virtulaearth.com aren't
potato
fields or cow pastures.

Here's a photo I took about fifteen months ago looking east and south from
ONP, across Sequim towards Mt Baker and the Cascades. It's pretty ugly in
terms of clear cuts. The picture shows two things: in the center, dead
ahead, are several clear cuts. But on the left you can see roads that have
been built for expensive new subdivisions for people who want to get away
from the cities and who want nice views on the edge of the wilderness.
