OK
What we did was clean out an area in the old Sugar Shack and placed a "tank" bottom side up for a bench. A place to work on saws...actually turned out really nice! (The other half is basically gone....)
Also cut that 50ft ash log into three sections (The one I posted pics of), they range from 24inches in diameter to 18inches in diameter. Blocked one end up on three of those logs for cookies...to test saws. I'd like to keep one for milling, but there is around 20ft of 18-22 inch stuff we can cookie.
Should keep those who want to compare happy. AND there is that "top" with 6-12 inch branches (I posted it as well) along with another 10ft of "cookie" wood at around 16inches in dia.
Forget the other two area's I setup, too much snow. We can get there but later in the day for the hard core types.
We have 4-6inches of wet snow down. The road is clear down past the beaver pond to the "fork" to the sugar shack. Those who have the map ..its at the west end of Sherman Road S(outh) displayed...If you find the road, you will see the place once at the bottom of the hill can't miss it. The parking isn't as nice as I had planned. Can stack 6-10 4x4's on the road to the old shack...I'll have a compact tractor...motomedik a quad, so the road can be used for who even is willing to do some winter work.
Also there are several tree's (hard maples) in that area that need to come down, so if things work out we can take them as we need them for the gtg..(I want them firewood sized) AND there are couple of really big old beach trees..really nasty but maybe I'll drop one of those if need be. (3ft dia stuff) Lots of work in that area of the woods to do.
IF the weather cooperates, we can get to one of the other two places fairly easily. If not we can stay in that first wooded section. Not as nice as the other places..but plenty to do. Mostly 65-80ft maple & ash.
Bring winter clothes and good boots!
The road is fine for 4 wheel drive....2 wheel drive maybe if its Front wheel drive! I wouldn't push it though as its STILL snowing. As I said..I have it clear now and can touch it up if needed tomorrow. No risk for a 4x4.
Have your coffee at Mac's in Cortland (On 13 about 2.5 miles away)..and take care of business as there is no out-house! (other wise you have to be a bare):jawdrop:
AND the show plow guy mashed my mail box this morning! Soits easy to find now! PM me if you need further directions.
