I finally got back to my scrounging. Between the holidays, too much time at work, blizzards and home projects, I haven't done any significant scrounging since the summer. Back to one of my regular harvesting sites, only about 1/2 mile from home. I nice little dirt road with woods on both sides. One side is the back of a retirement community, the other is county land.
Trees seem to fall here regularly. I harvested about two cords of White Oak, plus the logs that I milled last summer from here. Yesterdays score was a nice load of Black Locust. This went down about a year ago. I took the top back in October from the other side of the road. There are two nice big trunks just up the bank of the road. Easy to cut 'em and roll down to the road for loading.
I started with this one
Rolled down the hill.
Loaded up
split
stacked
An easy morning's work and the beginning of my 12-13 stack.
This is the other one. Hopefully I'll be back soon for it.
Here's some Oak just up the road from the Locust. A little harder to get at, but worth the effort.
