MUD, why can't natures mud be more like concrete mud? gets hard in the ground or under water! no more problems with muck & mire with heavy working equipment and all the finer things that we use in the chase for logs/firewood! just a thought? lol

I saw a big improvement from Friday to today at my place. Cut 2 deep ruts getting up the hill Friday, then didn't leave much more than a well defined track today choosing a new path for contrast.
Still hard about 4" down though. These cool nights aren't helping pull the drain plug out so the water can sink if it's not going to run off.

the mud hole is starting to show top improvement, as soon as you step onto the ground it's squish like cow pie's... hard on the outside and soft beneath ...
pulp, saw logs, firewood and a few lots to clean up again this spring from last years big blow storm.... mud has started to dry up so business as usual! good to be back into action....
Some good looking Norways there @chucker ! Hope the mud is gone by you. Up north keeps getting snow so everything has been on hold for almost a month.
When they cut over here they always leave trees like that standing all alone in the middle of the slashing. Then the winds come through and a good number of them tip over. I have turned a few that had immediate pickup access into boiler wood. Darn things hold water like a sponge until you get them split up!

short lived dry spell was nice! now back to reality for a few days of liquid sunshine... another load of pulp leaving for the sappi yard, with one load of big tooth bolts heading to the cloquet mill.

For once I'm happy to see rain. I noticed the DNR fire danger sign in Cloquet dropped from "extreme" to "moderate".
Are you heading east anytime soon? I'd love to grab that Mac bar from you.

Was super dusty at my place the last couple weeks. We need the water.
Sounds good. Let me know if your travel plan changes.
