    You'd be amazed what I haul in that van. I snagged a heavy duty pallet and 4 plastic crates on my way to work. I would have gotten more but I would have been late. :whistle:

    It sounds like you might be ready for the new Toyota Sienna minivan: the “Woodland”! They raised the suspension by a whopping .6 inches! Warn winch sold separately I guess. :rofl: :lol:

    2022 Toyota Sienna Woodland First Test: More Than a Gimmick?

    Seriously though, there’s a part of me that would love a minivan for family roadtrips. I’ve always heard they’re like Goldwings…once you’ve ridden one you’ll never go back. It’s not like our current SUV is anything more than a station wagon on stilts.

    I don't actually have the van by choice. I inherited it from my mother. It was paid off and makes a good "extra" vehicle. We took the seats out to take the dog to the vet and found it it actually can haul a lot. So we kept it.

    Pickings have been slim, but I've managed a few scores this winter. It really helps that we've been in a snow drought.
    Dec. 30th, dry elm that I split & burned right out of the dump: IMG_20230214_24393.jpg
    An oak limb I cut and hauled home on Sunday. My friend scouts her wooded neighborhood for scores for me. The homeowner was glad to have it gone. IMG_20230214_4194.jpg IMG_20230214_49779.jpg
    I'm looking forward to spring cleanup!

    I've been known to do that from time to time. Mostly maple these days. (I don't have any good maple jokes.)

    I can show this thread a little love. Emphasis on little.

    A whole 5 pieces of black locust.

    I piggybacked on Brad's thread with other pictures.
