    See, I told y'all they weren't all straight as poles...
    This is the offset log 0423231746_HDR.jpg
    And this was a pair of stilts... 0423231748_HDR.jpg
    Replaced the back supports (scrape blades, that were bending) with 10' long, 5in pipe, sunk 3' deep. Got the 1st load stacked in inventory... 0423231756_HDR.jpg

    The only negative I see is a lack of shade to work in. Hopefully it isn't blazing hot down there yet.

    Hoard on!!

    It was warm when we got the first load, maybe low 80's. One little tree had some shade that felt good. Hope it will be cool when we go back again.

    We'll probably have to take our tractor next time, he works during the week. Hope we can get a couple more loads and not tear anything up...
