Muir heading out to get another load of firewood.Much of the energy expended over the latter portion of May, 2006 was involved in getting firewood at the MTU trails, which had been vastly widened a couple of years ago with a lot of seasoned wood still at various places on the trails. We mostly cut on the gas line easement and right in the midst of getting in loads of wood, Muir met Jeff Parker, head of trail maintenance at MTU. He invited us to help him and Jim Meese to remove a couple of giant maples. After doing that we were pretty well set with wood for this next winter as well as deep into the following one. I am still feeling the bone and tendon bruising effect of moving rounds too big to get moved without splitting into quarters first and having to roll up a plank into the truck with both Muir and I struggling. As of this date, I still have bucking to do and quite a volume to be split much smaller to fit in a stove.
Stacking the processed wood, much of it already seasoned and ready for next winter.
Bucking up a length of red oak. Then it will be split into size for the wood stove.
All ready to go into the stove.
