Took a trip out to look for some Locust. Saw lots, stopped talked to people. Got 4 fair possibles (I'll call you - usually means no), one good possible and one score.
The 'Locust Forest' - about 20 acres of nothing but Locust all that were planted way back when. Never saw anythign like it, I didn't see one tree of another species. Two owners. The 'good' possible was the granddaughter caretaker of a senile old man - I knew him from way back, sad sight. She _probably_ will call. Both pics of the same site - granddaughters is the 1/4 in top left of second shot.

The Score:
Probably will get that to log off after harvest next year - can't get too it except through field. It is an old, abandoned house site. Can (if things don't change) take any and all locust but nothing else.
A small stand on the road above the house site. Could have been in there today but need to get below it - he has the access locked up - promised to open it but...
Owners house site - he is going to remove all locust but BIL "wants some". I cut in there today but just one that was down and removed one small one near his entrance.
Need to talk to him again. He is wavering on removing all the stuff along the highway - many small, brushy trees but I would probably get a load or a bit more from all of them. Lots of work though - more brush than trees.
1/2 a load but 1/2 load locust beats the he** out of no load at all.
