Oregon SAF Meeting at 7 Feathers Casino

I'm exhibiting at the 7 Feathers Casino in Canyonville, Oregon. It's the Oregon SAF meeting which has about 150 attendees. The Forest Products industry is in the dumps with log prices being very low. Still, everyone that I have talked to is pretty up-beat about the future.

Some consultants have told me that log prices are so low, it would cost more to deliver logs to the mill than the mill was paying. Timberland owners who can wait to harvest are better off holding off until log prices go up again.

The picture to the left is Lori Rasor and me at the Oregon SAF exhibit hall. Lori is the editor of the Western Forester magazine. She does a great job, publishing a magazine full of useful content.

No... I haven't spent a nickel gambling. About 10 years ago, I stopped in at 7 Feathers and put a dollar in a slot machine. I won two bucks and immediately cashed out. I can honestly say that I am ahead in my gambling at 7 Feathers. I plan to keep it that way.

Have fun!
