Thanks, guys! I'm pretty used to the altitude. I only live about 1,000 feet lower than that. But the difference in temp a thousand feet higher than me is remarkable. It was 20 degrees up there, when it was 30 at my house just a few miles away.
Dumb question CL from someone who lives close to sea level. How do you know what the elavation is? Signs?
There are a lot of bears around here. I know it's hard to tell, but that one in the picture I took was probably 500 pounds. They typically just take off when they see a person though.
It's funny seeing other people burning wood for heat already and I got so envious that I fired up mine while it's almost 65 degrees outside with a little bit of shoulder season wood (Basswood) and ended up heating myself out of most of my house. Not sure why I'm in a rush when I have a solid 4-5 months of wood burning ahead in the winter.
Nice score for sure Cash Larue ! It didn't look much like that here today, 65 & steady drizzle with mush for ground. I sure wish our Pine here was the quality of Lodgepole. We have Austrian & it doesn't split well or season well. I like Pine for burning down coal loads in my boiler & never seem to have as much as I want. I would actually trade you some Oak or Beech.
Awesome score Cash Larue.When you're scrounging in such scenery, I wouldn't even consider that work. That's a perfect day in my book. How long before you can burn it? Do you do any bear hunting? The one from your field was a big un.
That wood was all standing dead for 3+ years. So it’s ready to go now. But I’ve got so much wood css’d and ready to go, I probably won’t burn it until 2023 or so. I don’t bear hunt. I don’t have a problem with it, just not my thing.
Awesome pictures. Really appreciate you sharing your countryside and scrounges with all of us. Sent from my SM-G930VL using Tapatalk
Thanks for saying that. I like to share lots of pictures. I LOVE seeing pictures from everyone else on here from around the world. I’m always in awe of the big oaks and “cherry” trees and such that everyone else posts. That’s one of the coolest things about this site. It gives us all a peek into other parts of the world.
So very true. I lived in Wyoming for several years and I miss the west. I also love the pictures that everyone shares. It may be the only way I'll experience their part of the world. Sent from my SM-G930VL using Tapatalk
Actually, I didn’t even notice that until you pointed it out. Might be a cub that I didn’t see! I was just so excited about how big that bear was that I might have overlooked a cub?
