Windstorm Cleanup

We are in the process of cleaning up from yet another strong windstorm.  Winds gusted at over 85 km/h on Monday, bringing down 4 trees and tons of debris throughout the property.  This is by far the worst storm I've experienced in my time here at Quilchena and it will take at least a couple weeks to completely cleanup the mess left behind.  In an effort to expedite the cleanup process, we have recalled some employees from layoff earlier than anticipated.  The cold and wet weather isn't helping the effort, but the crew is toughing it out to get the job done.

Here are a few photos of the downed trees:

Again, the cleanup process is going to take some time so we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work away at the mess!
