Thanks to all who made the scene today at Denny's! Did not think we were going to have a very big crew but was surprised by who all showed up! Not sure how much wood we cut but kdeerpark ran at least a dozen tanks of fuel thru all our saws! Philbert was the chosen photographer-hopefully pictures are coming..................

Denny mentioned that he has some offers of trees / logs that he is unable to take advantage of. Maybe on a future date we set up 'strike teams' - 3 to 5 guys with a truck, a trailer, a wheelbarrow, and saws. Go to the addresses assigned, buck the logs, and bring the rounds back in the trailer to the Interfaith site for splitting. Do not have to contract with a log hauler.
Just a thought. Might be something different. Save him the cost of buying some of the wood.

They'r on high ground,they should be ok. I've been to the Radigan dam many times, the first time was in 61 when I trapped beaver up there, the dam was out then too.
Denny is quite a ways from the St Croix River. The majority of the heavy rains were to the north of him..................
LOL, Oldguy lived just up the road from me for a few years. I can see him trapping beaver but the beaver would have a couple caps in it's *** before he was done with it.
With winter approaching it's time to "work the woodpile" again for Interfaith. With winter lasting until mid April this year Denny delivered about 40% of the wood we had ear marked for this season. And with no Spring this year no wood got processed before it turned warm. We are attempting to put crews together on both Sept 9th and 16th to try to at least replenish what was delivered and hopefully it will be dry enough to burn after the first of the year. Alot of the logs are in the 10-16" diameter range so it should be quick processing if we can get a good crew together.
We never go hungry-That's for sure!
Breakfast at 0700 in Siren then off to the woodpile tomorrow.
Some pictures from yesterday.
The piles of wood split. The first picture was about lunchtime, the 2nd one of what the processor did was at the end of the day. But it gives you an idea of what can be done in a day.
Good days work with a small but energetic crew.
Duane and I will be doing some clean up work late Wednesday afternoon/evening with his Skiddie-Then back at it again next Sunday.....................

We are planning on going straight to the woodpile on Sunday morning. With 80 degree weather forecasted we will start at Denny's at 0700 and go until the weather is too demanding.
