At an outdoor wedding about two hours south of my hometown. Apparently this is the point in MN which has both the hardwoods and Canadian Shield species. Lots of sugar maple, cherry, true red oak, and even saw an ironwood.

Made it back to the scrounge site today , 80* and 100% humidity sucks .
I made good progress just the same , the homeowner showed up just after lunch , he couldn't believe how much I had cut already , could't believe the pile of logs and the size of the brushpile .
I would have had more done but being the cutter , choker chaser and winchman sure slows a fella down LOL
I used my self releasing snatch block alot today because it's a narrow skid lane .
Just so you guys know
It's thick in there so I have to plan my brush piles and skid lanes .
I left about a dozen for winching when I get there again and added more at the landing .
Scrounge on gentleman !!

Thanks! I've read a lot on here over the past year and finally joined. This site and its info rocks!
It was kind of cool to see.
It is also interesting that you get the odd sugar maple as we have none just 90 miles east.

The saw? Oh you just stick around. Before you know it, you will be tearing into the project saw while the other 3 saws in your 3 saw plan are wearing full chisel chain and sporting muffler mods. Not to mention the two or three old runners you picked up for cheap just because....

Yeah I have a new muffler on the kitchen table I'm planning to add a second port to. Also heard about another saw like mine buried in a neighbor's shed and forgotten about because it quit working- thinking that would be a good project!
