Right now their schedule is decided on a day-by-day basis. Lumber production is down, and the plywood side of the Potlatch mill in St. Maries was shut down much of the winter (which is why Hepkema has been seeing UP's Plummer Turn come back to Spokane without boxcars, other than those picked up at the brick plant at Mica). For the next several weeks log harvesting will be hampered by spring thaw conditions in the forest.
