Finding the Perfect Tree

030

We headed out to Black Butte a couple of weeks ago just after a warming spell to pick the perfect tree.

It was warm enough (57 degrees) for a picnic!  Okay, that's just warm enough to justify eating outside, but we didn't hang around.  We packed up as soon as we finished eating and headed up the butte.

That's the one!  With a Forest Service permit of $5 we could cut our own tree and there are so many to choose from.
