(146,333 posts)Later, I sold mineral specimens to collectors around the world for a few years. Now, I do something else.
There is a mineral dealer who calls himself MineralMan, but that's not me. Not connected.
Ive been into it for the last few years and was looking at the topic groups hoping for something rock/mineral related.. But thanks for answering me.

(7,511 posts)I used one when building trails. It had the triangle blades, not the tine-like kind. Sometimes called a council rake.
Now all we need is a peavy and a mattocks.

(8,839 posts)I live on a National Forest inholding and near the convergence of three NF (6Rivers, Klamath, Shasta-Trinity).
The lookouts are from a historical era.
There were lookouts, many originally built by the CCC in the 1930s, nearby: Shelton Butte, Orleans Mountain, Offield Mountain Blue Ridge, Eddy Gulch, Lake Mountain, Medicine Mountain, Weaver Bally, and more. None are now active in the Klamath Mountains.
There are not as many engine crews and brush disposal crews compared to the past, especially when there was still major timber sale programs.
