Looks pretty sweet. I think i'm gonna try to get over there tomorrow to get a truck load or 2. Of course, heat index of >100, just my luck.

Anybody else interested, let me know. Be easier to have a 2nd set of hands to load the rounds. Drop me a PM.

That's my idea of an easy scrounge.. Just load and go.. I wish I had a deal like that out my way but many people burn wood in my town so it would never make CL lol...

Hopefully you can back right up to it. Speaking from experience, those rounds are going to be really heavy...like 80-100lb each. Call first and ask if you can back onto the lawn, if not bring a dolly or some way to move the rounds, you'll fold like a broken lawn chair in the heat this afternoon if you try hustling those by hand.

Take a couple bottles of water with you too, easy to get dehydrated when working in high heat and humidity.

Great score though, take all you can get and enjoy the heat in 2013.
 
And take a splitter - a couple of swings can turn an unshiftable round into a couple of easy pieces.
 
hehe.... no worries about that.

Just called the guy (9:45 am). he posted the ad at midnight. said the wood is long gone, he got 57 calls this AM.

WOW!
 
That is impressive. Have one more day lined up for wood where I should get another cord. A guy at work is having some maples and ash dropped in the next two weeks he is looking to not pay to have taken, so I think I am done until the weather cools. Unless I find an easy scrounge like that...
