    My son, son in law, brother, grandson & myself are heading to my son's hunting cabin to make firewood this weekend. Gonna be fun I think. 320 acres well off the road. Got the new 8N, winch, saws, etc. set to roll. Will post pics if signal permits. 20190927_105102.jpg

    Good looking getaway spot.
    Gotta be nice and quiet there after you shut the saws down for the evening.

    Yep, 1.2 miles off the nearest county road which is a very little used dirt road. All two track from there. Never hear a car or equipment unless it's your own.
