I’ve noticed something in my area a few times over the past couple years. Evidence of people dragging logs or a tree down the road. Occasionally I’ll notice a drag mark in the road, and upon further inspection, recognize wood is what is being dragged. Once, I followed it from a guys yard down the road from me to another house about a mile away. I had noticed the cherry tree down in his yard the week before, and therefore put two and two together. Talk about a wrecking ball! Don’t think I would try it! Have any of you noticed any similar shenanigans in your area?
I've done that several times over the years on back country dirt/gravel forest service roads but not on paved roads. Usually it's due to needing to move a dead/down tree that is on a bad slope or on a curve in the road. I'll drag the tree down the road to a spot with a pull off to process it in a safer location. Yes, the wood gets a bit dirtier, but sharpening a chain is better than getting nailed by some city-slicker speeding down the road so they can find 'peace and quiet' in the woods. Dragging the trees does leave a minor 'snail trail' in the road that probably leaves most people scratching their head as to what happened.
I can totally understand this, but I’ve followed them for miles before. I really would like to see it when it’s happening. Just not from too close
Miles?! Well, not much surprises me anymore. People do crazy stuff. ‘Art Of Road Cleaning’: Video Of Truck Driver Dragging Fallen Tree Goes Viral - News18
I may drag my feet, but never a log or tree down the road. What some folks will do for wood!!! Are you sure its not a member here? If not, sign em up.
Definitely! Would make for a fascinating hoarding thread….. “Dragged a couple trees back to the wood yard today. Only took out 3 mailboxes and 2 traffic signs with this trip”
Dropped this one onto the road, then pulled it up out of the ditch. Good wood, but also a good way to dull a chain.
