Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Tulip! Almost forgot about that!

Yellow Poplar, mixed hardwood has to have some Yellow Poplar!

That’s a pretty flat roof, a cabin in snow country here would have a roof like this. Or at least about 12/12 pitch.

Wing windows? And crew cab, any pictures of what your driving?

No poplar.

 

[farmer steve]

Maybe some Hornbeam? And in Farm Country, maybe some Pear and Peach?

How about some better pics of the missing wood, this is getting tough! (Most of it just looks like Oak)

Yep pear and peach. I'll post pics of each of the last 3.

And it's a 4 door, with chrome handles, I'd guess and early suburban .

Honey locust, black locust

Honey locust, black locust

No honey but the black is in there.

The first pic looks like Mulberry, but I already said that … and Black Locust (I think).

Second pic looks like a Cherry or Birch (I guess not "Black" of either since I already guessed them).

The answer is always 'no' when you don't ask, so get out there and ask and you might get a 'yes' now and again.

Agreed! They had logged off about 20 acres of red pine down the road. Scattered among the pine was a bunch of cherry, anywhere from 8-20" width. They had it all neatly stacked. It sat for probably 3-4 years. I finally asked about it and he said "have at it". It's nicely seasoned, bark is now off, and there's probably at least 10 full cord. It's cherry, but it makes heat and it's free.

Had a couple somewhat reluctant helpers, though they were enthusiastic about getting a chance to split the ash rounds.

1971 International Travelall.

Nice! Meatloaf under that cheese in the CI loaf pan?

Nah felt like making Lasagna!

Oh wow, would have never guessed that. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one like that. Very nice!! Thanks for the pictures.

At the time it was built the Suburban and the Travelall were classified as “truck based wagon”. It’s registered as a station wagon, it was already when I got it. There are others that keep these going, but they are scattered all over the country. I know that from International vehicle online forums and shows. I went to the show in Ohio once, the one in Northern California 2-3 times, and the one in Southern California about 7 times. There were many Travelalls at the Ohio show, but very few at the California shows. The California shows are mostly Scout IIs.

Here’s Ansel Adams on top of his Travelall, looks like late 60s.
