It is actually a little further than it looks in this pic.
And our most worrisome winds come from the right hand side of the picture. Actually, it's a little hard to tell from the pic above, but behind all those trees is a lot more woods than just that line of trees. Strong winds coming from straight behind them would have to have come through a lot of woods, and that takes a lot of the force out of the wind the trees at that edge would have to take. IOW, the trees at this edge would be the last to go, not the first to go. They'd be at a lot more risk from winds to the right or from behind the camera, because they're taking the full force of the wind from across an open area.
This pic shows it better... the little blue-green dot is where the camper is.
OK. I figured you knew what you were doing, but just couldn’t grasp it. The picture is great. We were talking at work and the best way to explain it to people around here is that it is a Washington state storm pit. A very different concept when you are used to running underground. Jimmy had that smell in the ‘fridge in his RV and he had to replace it. It meant something was wrong, but I forgot what. I’ll ask him.
Duchess,
Beautiful story. Gives a wonderful mental image.
Did that lady take the horse you were thinking of keeping? Your young ones are looking great. I guess Rocky is gone now. Freckles is finally getting gray around his flanks pretty good. It still won’t be enough to show in his pics to get on reg. papers before he’s 7 months old. He’s over 6 now. We went to the breeder’s and got the paper with his signature on it to mail off. We got to see his weanling crop. There were 15 or so standing with halters and lead ropes dangling in a lot. Not one of them would come close enough to let you touch them and all but one were smaller than Freckles. None were as slick and muscled up. He said he just didn’t have time to fool with them. There were a couple of grays and a red roan and bay roan. Rest sorrel. He said he would trade me 10 of them for my Buckskin, Sasha, I got from him. I told him I couldn’t even sell Freckles and would have to feed them. He said EXACTLY!
