The trees were planted 81 years ago when Carolee’s grandfather, San Juan County pioneer A. Jay Redd, built his new home in what was then a cow pasture. Several tons of firewood has been harvested by these intrepid lumberjacks. There are enough pine boughs to decorate the entire town of Monticello, but best of all, in the words of Carolee, “Now I can quit worrying about one of the trees blowing down every time the wind blows.”
