    My brother is in south Colo. It's so dry there all the time, their log home's wood sides don't fade or rot over time. In Maine, it's a bigger issue with plenty of rain. Their firewood dries very quickly there too.

    All I know is the wood is drier now than when it was stacked there.
    Pic from the stack then , in Oct 30, 2013:

    Pic from yesterday

    2nd pictures looks drier than the first picture, (5 months since stacked)
    Guessing a few hundred pound of water has left the 7 cord stack thru the winter.

    They bought a large house and will be partnering with another organization that pilots pastors and missionaries to remote villages in AK. Their home will be used for a retreat for those that have been in the field and need some R&R to regroup.

    Bogydave, it's starting to sound like the group wants you to host a GTG. Only problem is you may have some permanent tents in your backyard!

    Big "Road trip" ! :)
    Bring some Hickory, Oak & Locust, would live to try some in the stove. :)

    Lots of room for tents.
    Permanent tents? Good luck, -20° f & 60 mph winds might make it tough.
