For better or worse, there are a lot less trees. These shots are from before Weyerhaeuser bought the place and transformed it.

Very cool TB, thanks for taking the time to post them. I especially like the tic-tac-toe game on page 4. ;)

Worse, even though Jay is so well known for its' tree skiing today. Those trails look like alot of fun to ski.

Makes you appreciate what MRG still is today even more.

Speaking of MRG, I have an article on MRG from the late 1980's or so if there is interest in seeing it posted....
