Did a trip to my father in laws cabin on the east side of Mt. Hood in Sportsmans park this last weekend. Just love going up there.
Brought the sprinter van, trailer, XR600R, and new Stihl 390 25". My father in law had a permit for the cutting area that was about 30 miles away, but I told him that wasn't worth it.
Jumped on the XR600R and started riding the forest roads. Found downed trees and marked them with the GPS. We were able to get about 1 chord for him, and I got some gigantic pine rounds off highway 48 probably totaling about 1/2 chord.
It was awesome. There I was up on a hill side cutting a 20" round pine. First round I cut off rolled down the hill, hit the ditch flew up in the area landing in the middle of the road. Then it kept going across the road and down a big cliff. I laughed my ass off
), then kept cutting and carefully rolling them off the hillside so they toppled instead of rolled.
Up to 4 chords of uncut and un-split in my yard. I bet my neighbors talk about my wood piles all the time).
