    That's nice Bert that you can cut in an old burn and it looks like good wood too. Many from out east will love the view of the mountains too so never hesitate to post more.

    The fire was caused by a lightning strike about ten years ago and burnt about forty thousand acres. The wood is real nice and it's dry and the bark is burned off. Most of the wood that I burn is Pinion pine, I did go over by Placerville, Ca last weekend and cut a cord of Live Oak, I'm not doing that again Wow! that oak is real heavy.......We saw a heard of about fifty Mule deer there this morning.......:saw::saw: I'll be back at it again this next weekend.:)

    That area was snowed in last week, it's been in the 70's for the last few days.

    Yeah. That's a beautiful area.

    Iirc, my wife and I had dinner in Placereville a few months or so after the fire you mentioned. You could still smell the smoke in the air.
