    A good day out! I ended up stopping at 13 spots to pull back limbs/trunks from the trail. Most were under 10 minutes to cut though a few were longer. The longest was 38 minutes.

    None of it _had_ to be tended - I wanted to have fun and enjoy the day.

    Nice work Jim!! I decided to go up the backside of Saxon this morming and rip up a sidewall.

    We did Bill Moore last week the day after we had a full day of rip roaring winds. Right before the lake we came across 2 massive trees the wind laid down right across the trail. It took 2 winches to move each of them, even if we had a chainsaw, it wouldnt have handled them. We managed to split them up and make a lane to get through.

    How we found them:




    And how we left them:

    Ran it with some friends tonight, and was amazed at the size of the bigger one and how we were able to move it at all.
