1Q. Page 6, 1st paragraph, “Prior to tree marking, submit for Government approval cruise design..” This excerpt would seem to indicate a single cruise design is to be submitted. As it appears there are to be three individual sales, are sales being combined into a single cruise?

1A. You are correct. We are asking for three separate stand-alone cruises. Forbestown, Slate Creek, and Diamond Springs. All will be scaled sales targeting a 20 percent or less combined sampling error. Several places may state 2 cruises but there are three.
