What a barren wasteland.
I bet nothing will ever grow there again.

There are patches of clearcuts across the lake from my house. I moved here in 1989. The clearcuts are still blatant and there is not much more than grass and scrub brush on them. Stuff does grow back but it doesn't happen in only a couple decades.
