    Sounds like you had a great weekend. Glad you got back okay. Now back to the old grind again. Maybe next you should go shopping for a boat.

    Missed the original thread AC. Site down all weekend. Looks like a great spot and a good time was had. Did you get all 320 acres cut? With four and a half guys it was feasible?

    Hahaha! Not quite, made about 2 cord of firewood out of some dead standing Ash. We only burn maybe a cord up there for the year. Cut up some Poplar tops for shoulder wood & campfires as well. Had a great time!

    Really impressed me, handles the winch very well. Pulled 3 4' by 16" logs down the trail to the deck no problem, maneuvers very well in tight quarters also. Gonna be a really nice addition I think.
