    so I could come out with a full load in the tub.
    The first Maple I dropped was rotten so it stayed in the woods, pic 9581,82 & 83.

    The second Maple (Sugar?) I dropped was good except for the top two rounds, pic 9584 - 9588.

    Since I wanted a full load coming out, I picked up some Cherry rounds that I cut from the ice storm last winter.

    Your path looks nice. I'm going to use your method of cutting firewood length down in the woods and haul good loads up with the trailer... during the bare ground season. Your steady way of going at it is how I'd like to plan my firewood time... after I get done with the seasonal other stuff.

    One of these days I'll make the trail wider to the stacks so I can get the truck back there, it's only about a days work so I'll do that when it gets hot out, it's underneath the White Pines so it offers some cover.

    Thanks Mitch, just like all the landowners here, the work is always there, it always seems that you're behind but you can't get it all.

    I do have another trail that needs clearing, that will have to be done before hunting season so we can use it this winter on the sleds.

    For sure. We're getting lots of raspberries daily here and should for quite some time as we have a few everbearers.

    Good work Zap, er- woodlands. What do you use for a standard to see if it's too punky to bring home? When I kick a log and it sprays compost, it stays behind.

    When the chips from the chain are actually like sawdust. When I first started cutting, everything came home, I do a much better job of leaving the chit wood in the woods.
