93. Curry County, Oregon. . . . the poor joiner, working at his wood, Knew not the tree from which the planks were taken, Knew not the glade from which the trunk was brought, Knew not the soil in which the roots were fast, Nor by what centuries of gales the boughs were shaken, But holds them all beneath his hands at last V.

As John Hay has written, we are “destroyers who are incapable of identifying our victims.”From Turning Back, A Photographic Journal of Re-exploration

103. Saddle Mountain (3,257 feet) as seen from the side of Humbug Mountain (2,452 feet), Clatsop County, Oregon. Saddle Mountain is the highest point in the Coastal Range in northwestern Oregon. The sorrow one feels here today is not new. Sam Churchill (1911–1991), a well-known newspaperman who was raised in a logging camp near Saddle Mountain, remembered experiencing it as a young child walking with his mother: “I knew that already donkey engines of the Saddle Mountain Logging Company were gnawing at the vast belt of timber almost at the mountain’s foot. A great panic and sadness suddenly welled up within me. I clutched at on of Mother’s blackberry-picking hands. ‘I don’t want all the trees to be gone,’ I sobbed in boyish agony. There, in the sullen loneliness of a logged-off ridge top, and surrounded by blackberry vines and with Saddle
