    Muzzy. I am visiting family in Sebring, FL. We found a big oak tree in Highlands Hammock state park. Ranger said it was a 1000 yrs old and 36' around the trunk. Heading back home this weekend to cold and snow.

    Welcome y'all from your neighbor in Middle part of Georgia. We stay right off I-95 in Titusville when we go cruisin' out of Port Canaveral. I think you will like it here. Great group of folks from all over. Sharing ideas and experiences. Take plenty of pictures. We have a saying on here. No pic, didn't happen...lol...there is also a thread for prayer request and Thought for the day, scripture verse encouragement...hope you enjoy it.

    Welcome to the forum Muzzy.

    You are not the first member we've had from Florida. We used to have another; maybe he got caught in the last hurricane. Not sure. But we're happy to have you. Would love to see pictures of the splitter and some of your wood piles.
