Old Maple Down

[thewoodlands]

I have a man coming over tomorrow who use to ski on our property when he was a kid with the previous owner in the winter so I had to check the trails to make sure they were open since he wants to see it.

Once I made it up top this old sugar maple was down from the last winds we had, looks like I should be able to get some wood out of it. Pic 4123 is whats left standing.

Looks like a nice chunk of wood. Those woods look like they were cleared at some time?. must be pretty in the winter with the pines and the openness.

Mad Tom, I think the woods were logged off once. Yes the pines are nice during the winter.

that maple looks like a grandpa...but judging by the age of the other trees, must be the children of this grandpa got logged off ( like you was sayin). gramps must have been a bit to old and nasty to make the cut. Much of my land is the same. Hopefully grandpa left you with some maple grandchildren.

Yes, there are some old stumps at Zaps but you can tell it was a long long time ago. He has a beautiful woods and certainly will never be in want for wood.

From what I have been told a very large portion of the Adirondacks were logged out years ago. Much of the woods is pretty young. Is that right ZAP?

Nice pics.
Looks like it was a heavy sucker. It took out quit a few smaller trees.

eco, our property is in the foothills of the Adirondacks so it is more like hills, trails all through our property.

bogydave, some of that stuff was down but it did take some new stuff down.
