Using tree rings to reconstruct the disturbance history of a spruce-fir forest

Becky Reisner:

I didn't realize that Prof. Fahey was being serious when he said we were going to hit three peaks. I thought... that's not possible. Man, was I wrong. Twelve miles of mountains - it's just a beautiful walk in the woods. I think that we had the best October weather one could ask for when hiking the White Mountains. The gray jays were friendlier than the average house cat.
