    I'll be checking this out tomorrow, I just hope it's still good. If this is still good I'll have this off the hill tomorrow and back here to the splitting pile.

    Looks like a good part if it has air under it. Good luck.

    I just have to keep an eye on this big old widowmaker, it's the same tree that's in the first two pictures in my original post. IMG_0039.JPG

    Checked the weather history for last night. Looks like we only dropped to around 35°. Headed up to 64° today.

    I always like your photos, keep them coming. looks like you are having a good time scrounging downed wood from your wood lot.

    Well Seasoned , we dropped to 31 this morning. Gasifier , working close to that thing put a different meaning to the words pucker factor. Thanks Jnb , I would've had more pics but the sun got to me so I pulled off the hill before I rolled down it. :whistle:

    The bigger rounds are still on the hill but down from the widowmaker, I felt good enough to take one load home.

    We'll see how I feel tomorrow, if everything is "gooder" I'll have more pics.

    I cut from the top back to the trunk and every time a round came off the Maple would come up some (kept looking at the leaner) but it never moved so that was a very good thing. I parked the rhino up from where I would roll the smaller stuff down. 100_0175.JPG

    I felt good enough to get the rest of the rounds today but not good enough to run the saw.

    I picked up 15 rounds which should give us 50 - 60 splits.

    I would say no, that area has both Red & Sugar Maple. I haven't seen any Silver on my runs in a few years, the last one I saw was up top on the side of a very steep hill.
