Went out today to see if I could still get to my firewood spot, about halfway there going over an area that’s about same elevation as where I wanted to go there was 16” of wet heavy snowView attachment 1030112So I turned around and tried a different road at lower elevation, wasn’t expecting to find anything so was pretty happy to see these dead red fir by the road View attachment 1030113And one even leaned up hill toward the roadView attachment 1030114View attachment 1030115View attachment 1030116Feel pretty bleblessed.

That had to be a back breaker get those heavy rounds up there. Looks like a great solid tree though.

It’s funny to see someone mention climbing 4 thousand footers, here we mention 14 thousand footers. I’ve been on Mt Whitney twice.

Out there your trees are twice as tall compared to the East Coast.

Probably, unless the tree has already damaged it. Just cut and split around it.

That is the plan. I noticed a few of the wheel spokes go right up into the tree. This will be fun to free up.

WAAAAAY back when, I had a SAAB car, 3 cyl. 2 stroke motor.

I'd add a qt. of engine oil, (usually 30w) in the gas tank and fill it up with gas.

It smoked but it ran good...

Those cars used to make a Ringadingading sound when going downhill.

Yea it’s a cool Highway for sure .

We’ve got wind gusts up to 45 mph tomorrow through Monday mid day. That’s going to F up deer hunting quite a bit. I’ve got a few low lying spots I could go to but it’ll all but shut down my main hunting areas. In addition wind that high can be downright dangerous to sit in a tree.

Harvested a few in very windy conditions. Read a study in MI a few years back that radio collared bucks moved the most over 30 mph winds. I usually stay out of trees when it's that windy.

Nate nice super duty, what year? I had one very similar was a 99 but was a 7.3 power stroke.

Thanks, it’s actually the same, 99 with a 7.3. I’ve been pretty happy with it.

It was, not like hardwood but plenty heavy for me. I started unloading it and was thinking how the heck did I get those up there! Lol. It’s a nice one, drove up there this spring and they still had some green needles. Dry enough to have cracks now but no rot.

I went to bike week this past June first time in a couple of years . Not really the best time to go . Way to many look at me aholes who have a 10 year old bike with 1000 miles on it . That and the fact it’s always rain and cold . Went the year before in August was fantastic .

Had to make this up to keep warm by the fire

I don't own a Harley and haven't been up to Laconia in 20 years. Back then it was pure madness.

Nice scrounge! How much GatorAid do you have to drink to keep the Gator working?
