Tree hunting

I think this is the 4th year that we've gotten our tree from the same place. A young man named Tyler planted trees as a way to earn money for college. It is located south of Gaston and is a beautiful area to drive to. He puts an ad on craigslist each year. It is easy to find and well worth the trip for a $10 douglas and a $15 noble.
Our noble is the one at the right of the picture.
It happened to be Civil War weekend so Ry is listening to the pregame while he lends a hand.
Tree hunting attire.
It was a balmy day with temps in the high 50's
One 9ft tall noble and one 9 1/2 ft tall douglas ready for the trip home. We stopped and ate Chinese food in Banks, Oregon. Have never stopped in that town before so it was one more adventure in our day. They also have a nice Thriftway.

If you've never been to Banks, and you are used to Portland, and you go to Banks....it's definitely a culture shock. But it was a fun adventure all in all. =)
