3rd Damaged Sugar Maple

[thewoodlands]

When I was heading down the hill I noticed this damaged Sugar Maple right off the trail so I decided to come back and take it.

Picture 2564 is the damaged Sugar Maple, 2568 is after the fell,2569 is loaded up and coming home and the last two are the top that was rotting.

Loon, I'll take more days like that. I have two maybe three more Sugar Maple in that area that are damaged so hopefully Sunday I'll get back in and grab them.

Looks like I'll be heading back in for either more Sugar Maple or run around and grab some dead standing.

I also noticed Flint says 8-12" so it sounds like the worst should be to our south.
