Well we had a great day in the woods.

We drug 2 big beech logs up out of the bottoms. One was 28"+- at 4 feet up. The other I would say the same or pretty close. I had to make 3 turns per tree. as I was skidding them up pretty good hillsides.One I took out to the west it was dry and they went right up. The one I drug out to the east was after a shower and it was up a natural draw to begin with. I had some difficulty. I was skidding using a Massey Ferguson 300 dozer. I am not sure how many cords we skidded out today, but it sure beats letting them just rot.
I will save one nice log for a GTG this fall or early winter here at the place.
That way we can play on some real hard wood with big saws..Heck with those piddly 8x8 poplar cants..
No pictures today it was all work trying to beat Ike,.
