Most of the dead stand from fires are in rugged territory, thus logging would be impossible. Just west of Buena Vista, and south of Cottonwood Lake is the remains of a fire that happened in the late 1800's. Still today there are dead/burned trees standing simply because the terrain is basically a 60 degree angle.
