For those of you who have already taken down your Halloween decorations, and have your Christmas lights up, Christmas trees permits are now on sale for the Carson and Bridgeport Ranger Districts in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Take hike in the woods, and cut your own tree this year when you buy a permit for only $10. The permits are issued on a first come, first serve basis, with a limited amount sold. You’re allowed up to two, each good for one tree. There’s offices in Sparks, Galena, and Carson City where you can get a permit, and you can get more info at fs.usda.gov.
