Kaleo Hills-Property tour

[weekender21]

Wandering hack and squirt track. I hit a few areas pretty hard with the goal being significant canopy reduction in those areas. Also daylighted a few 2017 planted chestnuts.

Current canopy closure after the fire, can’t wait to see how this responds post herbicide treatment.

Thanks to picture this I’m now aware we have velvet grass. Definitely more bluestem than velvet but I hate seeing invasive grass in the mix.

I squeezed in ~45 minutes of fishing on this trip. It’s been a while. This stream is about 25 minutes from our place.

This bear was roughly 12 yards from my tent (with me in it) when the picture was taken. I don’t really consider them a threat but thought it was a cool “encounter” even though I didn’t actively participate.

Not enough fat on you for that one.

Quick overnight property trip on the 4th, it was HOT. Mid 80’s isn’t bad compared to most places but it’s about as miserable as it gets in the mountains. Not perfect camping weather in my opinion.

We camped by our newly installed well. Probably the shadiest area with good access.

My youngest and I took a short hike to check out the burn.

This area is getting good sunlight.

A little on the shady side here but still has available food at ground level.

Poke salad remains king.

Eventful weekend in the mountains.

Two of my plots were mainly clover from last years fall planting and an early spring frost seeding. Both of those plots were over seeded with WR, Ladino, and MRC. No spraying.

Over an inch of rain fell as soon as I finished these two.

The other plots received 2qts/acre gly. I had to carefully dodge afternoon thunderstorms, apparently the last of the week.

I was able to spray and plant another plot before receiving another 2 tenths.

The last plot was sprayed and seeded with no real rain. It has cooled off but the birds will likely clean up the WR. Doubt they’ll have as much luck with the clover.

Excellent fruit this year.

Some I planted:

And some I inherited when we bought the property:

Nice, do the deer eat up all your apples?

They’re on the apples pretty heavy on good years.
