Loaded truck pics.

That's where more trigger time on the saw was needed. Which for me is the best part of the whole deal.

 

Red oak in the Ranger.

 

Load of mixed hardwood. Black walnut, black birch, elm, dead ash, Norway and silver maple.

 

Load of black locust delivered yesterday

 

Nice looking load of farwood. Well done, my friend

Good load of wood, my friend

 

Logs out of the local forest

 

Nice, was that fire unaided? Pine?

 

That's a great truck.

 

Not sure what you mean by unaided? If I recall correctly this one was started by an ATV, probably 4 years ago. The one they had this year was a controlled burn that flared back up 2 days later. Not a lot of timber left in the 96,000 acres. Only a 1/3 or a little better was trees. The fire this year was 30,ooo acres.

and yes mostly hauling pine logs, some cedar.

 

Was supposed to be un-alived. The word D e a d throws flags sometimes.

I started reading your other post after this one.

 

Ohh ok, so yes, fire killed pine.
I thought about starting another whole thread about the log hauling. But If’n I get 2 more trailer loads out today I’m gonna call it good, at least for now. Still many piles available

 

After seeing pictures of your area for many years its kinda hard for me to fathom "local forest".

Sweet load of logs though.

 

Black locust!

 

It used to be touted as “ the largest hand planted forest in the country” (maybe it was world, not sure now).
It encompasses approximately 96,000 acres. Of that approximately 1/3 was considered forested or trees. Now,….. not so much after the last 2 good burns.
It was planted mostly back in the CCC ( civilian conservation corps) days. 1930s I believe.
So yeah, “FOREST” is kinda a relative term in this case
