        "text": "In high-altitude areas like the Colorado Front Range, Castle Rock, and mountain foothills, intense solar radiation and low humidity speed up the breakdown of log coatings. Strong UV exposure dries out wood fibers and fades pigment much faster than in humid, low-elevation climates. Additionally, rapid freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal wind-driven snow test log chinking and joint seals. Cabin owners in these regions often need maintenance coats applied every 3 to 4 years on exposed southern elevations, even if shaded northern log faces remain in sound condition for longer intervals.",
