Where are you in Tug Hill? Drive throug there all the time, from Adams to West Road to Whetstone Gulf. Have read that there are Hemlock in Tug Hill that are over 400 years old -- huge old trees. Some of the few trees in America that were here when the European settlers came....Have you ever seen them? Do you know where they are?7.5 "face" cords used thus far. Considering that the wood is 16" in length, that would be 2.5 full cords. Furnace has not run once all year. Heating 1500 SF in northern NY. A wood stove investment can easily pay for itself in less than two years, depending on wood cost.
17this morning with 4" of lake effect snow last night. Spring has not quite arrived yet.
I ride my sled there also..seen some nice trees there though i have no idea how old or anything.

I am down the road from Barnes Corners, you drive right by on Rt 177. I do not know where there are 400 year old trees, but there may be. Tug Hill is fairly expansive. I'll have to ask some of the old time hunters, fishermen, and trappers; they may have some insight.
I went one week ago, it was great. However, it got up to 50 last weekend, with rain and wind. There is still plenty of snow in the woods, on main and secondary trails. We just got about 4" of snow last night. I would imagine there are some slushy areas on the trails, but definately rideable. I don't know if they're still grooming, but should be. It's supposed to be cold right through the weekend, too. Lows down to +10
MODS: Sorry about the thread hijack, I don't seem to have a PM capability on my computer. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Atleast you'll hit 0 for a high. I am at -9C. It was -27 with the wind yesterday! Brrrrr....
