We decided that as a family we would go find our own Christmas tree in the forest near Salmon La Sac. We bought permits and headed to the forest before dinner on Thanksgiving! There was no snow in the Roslyn but as we headed toward Salmon La Sac there was a lot of snow. We looked around then we got a little stuck in the snow in the hills, an hour before dark. Not so fun but it was only temporary and we went home treeless!
Next day, Friday, we headed up again but this time we went with Steven and his monster truck and winch. Again, we got a late start but knew we were not getting stuck! We probably would have done fine and got our 2 trees but had to stop and help the Chevy out of the snow. A guy had got his Suburban with bald trees and snowmobile trailer stuck --even with 4 guys trying to dig him out he was not going anywhere fast. Steven hooked him up and winched him out! Then Steven had to back down the road and across the bridge--about a 1/2 mile down the narrow icy road. Once the guy loaded up and was out of the way we were able to go up we wemt up the hill until we could only see snowmobile tracks but we were stuck now! Tied off to a tree Steven had to winch us out! On the way down, we searched the dark forest and found a tree! One down and one to go! We were on our way home! Tomorrow, we would get the other tree!
