Those poor trees...how could you? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Great pics. Reminds me of a lot of pictures from my relatives in NW Washington back in the 40-60s. Lots of large stumps and one log truck loads. Of course they were better looking.(Don't think they carried any pink guns either) I am wondering about that date though. Tree was so big it fell into tomorrow???

What will that wood be used for? Where is the wood going? Who owns it? What equipment will be used to get it out of where it fell? What specie is that tree? Very interesting...... RS

You working by the hour or are you busheling? looks like a lot of second growth "grouse ladders" around you as well.

Is Sikorsky building a new helo to haul that one out? The other tree's in the pictures look downright skinny compared to that one. BTW gents, I've been to one of 'Sticks' worksites down south, and the terrain goes darn near straight up from the first step off the beach. No place for 'girlie men'! Brian

It is a 13 footer that is 77 inches on the scale end(small end) and was fairly wet(heavy). The boys are gonna have to rip the first 4 cuts,to make them fly. I'm out the door................
