You're gonna find that it sure is nice to have a key to a gate ,,,

Got the keys. Don't even have to go through the gate to get the first cherry log just park and cut from the side of the road. So much wood on the hill top I could prolly heat the house for years.
 
I have a neighbour who's completely anti-hunting and like to follow me and other neighbours when we do go hunting,shouting abuse and blowing airhorns when we do get a target in sight. She only moved in 5-6 years ago
As liberal of a State that Maryland is, with many anti hunters, we did get a law passed forbidding the harrasment of hunters. No dirt bikes, horns, yelling, or dogs off your property. If the hunter happens to be hunting the fence line between the anti’s property, I guess they can do what they want on their side. But, if the hunter calls the police, they will come out and warn the people to leave the hunters alone. That usually pizzas the anti off enough the give up.
 
Well , it wasn't a good weekend to be in the woods , warm winds and heavy fog yesterday , rain , then windy with temps at 33F and wet today so :(
So , it was decided to gear up a woods trailer to go haul out a couple of cord that we cut and left in the woods :)
It was a free ugly trailer that I scrounged up a few years ago so I figured that it was time :)
It was at a friends place for a couple of years so Jerry and I went over to pick it up , we used a minihoe , loaded it upside down in my dump trailer and hauled to Jerry's place so he could do a bit of welding to some seedy bits (sorry , no pics :("
Today we sided it and got it over to the pit where we haul some of our wood too .

6'x4' metal floor , 20" sides , springs ? polly early caravan hubs with weather cracked 14" winter tires but they have tubes so they hold air just fine :)
A thing of beauty , the wood and screws are worth more than the trailer lol
If it hauls out 1 load of wood , it's paid for :D
Our local pick and pull junkyard used to sell a rear axle with springs and tires for about $65. Cheap start for a home made trailer. If you found an old Caddy or Olds with heavier axle and bigger tires, they were all the same price.
