    Thanks. Seemed similar to a small tree I took down the other day. Just went and looked at the pieces. Not so similar. I’m putting it down as some sort of Hickory.

    I know you have a great memory, let’s see how great LOL
    Remember the tree you id’d as a gum near the trail? Right next to it was that bent over tree a large branch had bent into a loop. That’s the one.
    I finally cut it down. Had hoped it might decide to straighten back up on its own. Nope. Time to go.

    Almost done with pen #3. :)

    The stuff from the other day yes with the hydro. The other pic was from Fall 2019 and i left it roadside.

    Given the choice i wouldnt take it again unless a small amount and small logs.

    I vaguely remember that tree. You are out of control with that conveyor. Is there a weight limit? I want a ride!

    Have you touched the BL yet? Going in its own pen?

    The weight limit is less than me. I went up there once and it wasn’t all that happy about it :)
    Think I’ll stack the black locust near the other stacked black locust.
    Ya think that piece is a hickory?
