Here's a close up of one of the jack-pines we saw out where a local ranger told us that they were burning next year. In order for Jack-pine cones to open up and disperse their seeds, they must be exposed to the extreme heat of a fire.

They clearcut these areas and burn them so new stands of Jack-pines will start. Jack-pines are the habitat of the Kirkland Warbler.

1) Nice thick, tapered lichen covered trunk.
2) Live branches
3) Some foliage doubling back
4) Growing in a old well rotted pine stump, I could almost lift this out by hand.

While you're driving the snow mobile, maybe you should keep your eyes on the trail ahead!

Living in CA. there aren't nearly the number of hardwood trees you seem to enjoy (however there are some fine oaks).
