The Georgia Forestry Com
mission is urging landowners to
take stock of their woodlands.
Questions that might arise
include: (1 ) Do I have idle land
that should be planted to
trees? (2) Does my timber need
thinning? (3) Are weed trees
choking out species which
could earn an income for me?
(4) Is my land properly pro
tected from fire? and (5) Do I
have a forest management plan
to follow which will put my
woodlands in A-l shape?
The answers to these and
other woodland questions do
not come easy. Hubert Strick
land, area forester, is available
to assist in finding the answer
to these questions for area
landowners.

landowners that the Forestry
Commission is taking orders
for tree seedlings. These seed
lings are grown in commission
nurseries for landowners.
Properly planted and taken
care of, your pine tree seed
lings should be ready for their
first commercial thinning in
about 14 years. While growing,
they will be protecting the soil
as well as putting on valuable
growth.
Tree seedling orders may be
placed through your Chattooga

Mrs. Elliott said the grass
there was brown in the summer

an Indian reservation.

home that was very pretty, she
said. They visited South Lake
Tahoe and made the 72-mile
trip around Lake Tahoe.
“Lake Tahoe is the prettiest
thing I ever saw,” Mrs. Elliott
said.
There was snow on the
mountains and it was cool.
They made stops at various
points of interest, including the
Ponderosa Ranch, sight of the
famous High Chaparral TV
filming area. She said they
went in the ranch house and
went to the top of the stairs
and that is all the bedrooms
are in Hollywood. Ernie and
Vickie took horseback rides
around the ranch. They saw
the barn, horses and wagon,
and Mrs. Elliott rode in one of
the wagons.

Inyo National Forest. They
saw lava beds on the outskirts
of the desert and viewed one of
the last known volcanoes in
Basin Mountain Range, Calif.
“It was a sight to see those lava
beds. The earth looked black
like burnt coal. The highway
went right through where the
volcanoes erupted.” They en
countered severe thunder and
lightning storms while traveling
through the Mojave Desert.
The lightning shot straight up
and down and was awesome to
see.
In San Diego, they visited
many points of interest includ
ing early Spanish missions, Old

coastline for approximately
200 miles. Mrs. Elliott said this
was truly scenic country and a
ride she’ll always remember.
In San Jose, Calif., they
picnicked at Big Basin National
Park. “The Big Basin redwoods
I were something to see.” They

She was given a long-to-be
remembered dinner in the Non

Hamilton Air Force Base.
Mrs. Elliott said she just
loved flying. The plane reached
a height of 36,000 feet. While
traveling at lower altitudes, the
captain would point out places
of interest such as Pike’s Peak.
I saw things I never
thought I’d see,” she reflected
“I never saw such mountains in
my life. They’d make the
Smoky Mountains ashamed of
themselves,” she said.
She brought souvenirs to all
the grandchildren, and she has
many nice pictures to help her
remember the trip.
