Thankfully we were not that hard hit by Irene. There was some flooding and quite a few trees down around me, but we never lost power or experienced deep water at my place. One of my Maple trees fell on the nieghbor's shed, but the damage was minor and cleanup was easy enough.
At least it didn't take down my stacks!
About 1/2 mile from me is my favorite dirt road. I have been harvesting Oak and Locust from here for years. I found this nice Black Locust that the town had partially cleared.
This tree was right next to another scrounge I got from here over the winter.
Cut, quartered and ready to load.
Made the truck work a little on this load.
There is still more on the other side of the street.
Last night the power company cut down another BL about 500 feet from this one. I'll have to get back soon. I know that you all won't have much sympathy, but I am up to my armpits in Black Locust and Red Oak! I don't really have enough room for all the wood that I have access to right now.
