    I quit counting because I was getting so many mixed loads. Many kinds of maple and oak, along with various other woods of all kinds. You don’t have to worry about me putting in a last minute list. I’m too busy hauling wood home and getting ready for winter.

    I have a standing dead one my friend wants me to take down. Been a skeleton for several years now. I keep talking myself out of it.

    Just over a month left to go!

    Sorry that I haven't been updating this post as often as I originally planned. Life has been full speed ahead.

    As far as things going in Western North Carolina post Helene, there are many parts around the Asheville area that look very much "back to normal" We are on a well so our water situation was fine after we got power back (8 1/2 days without). Folks with Asheville city water were on a boil water advisory for 7 weeks due to contaminants. Helene did a number on the water lines at the reservoir. Places like Chimney Rock, Garren Creek and Swannanoa are still in very bad shape.

    And the trees that we've lost... They have reopened portions of the Blue Ridge Parkway and there are many places driving by where the forest looks thinned out. There are areas NE of Asheville around Mount Mitchell where the entire forest of trees had blown down. Mount Mitchell recorded wind speeds of 102 mph at one point!

    I'm going to help a neighbor in a couple hours who has 5 trees down on his property. Hey maybe there'll be some species I can add to my numbers... maybe I can at least stay in the top 10.

    I’ve got one more +1 in my pile to process than I’m gonna have to do some hunting for more. I saw a pile of Catalpa in a front yard but it disappeared before I could stop. Thanks for the update. I saw where Asheville just got water back. Hopefully tourism will return to normal shortly. Beech mountain got 9” of snow so that should bring in the skiers next week to Avery and Watauga.

    I know I'm missing a few species and no, I didn't haul all of this home for firewood, some of these were just heavy prunes. So I don't expect to be added to the game but still fun to see what all we've plunged a saw into!

    I’ve easily let 10 slip through the cracks and I have an emergency reserve if I get pressured. :handshake:

    I made a list of other common woods around here that I could scrounge but haven't scored any. If I haunted the two dumps I'd get more.

    Guess ill strive for the silver medal!

    Unless Eric Wanderweg comes up with a bunch, congrats in advance on your victory.:handshake:
