We cut so much wood in 2008 that we did not need to go at all in 2009. I kept that old woodstove burning constantly this winter so we have finally used up the majority of the 6 cord we had out back.
Off we went on Mother’s day to get a quick 3 cord before the festivities.
Warren found this tree all the way up by Mudd Springs when he was hiking and it looked like a piece of cake. Cut it up and roll it into the trailer….yeah, right!
Warren & Hunter are clearing out a path so we can get the rounds through.
He is making quick work of the cutting portion.
Chips are flying…
The rounds were 31-1/2” across and they did not jump into the trailer – they didn’t even saunter in. Those suckers were so full of water that I swear each one weighed 200 pounds apiece!
It took so long to load that we only ended up getting 2 cord. We needed to be at my sister’s for a Mother’s Day BBQ at 2 in Redmond so we had to scramble to get back in time.
We will give it a month or so to dry out up there. We will go back when the wood is lighter and we can get a full three cord on the trailer.
