Well today was another great day at the farm I found on craigslist. We had 5 guys, a Sonoma, a F-150, and a Silverado. All three trucks were loaded up within two hours! I took home a full load of 100% oak again, and my fiancee's uncle took home two loads of 100% cherry. We were the only people there since we went early Saturday morning, so it was great having the woods to ourselves. We had two Stihl 290 Farm Boss saws and a crappy 33cc Poulan as backup.
I didn't get Thursday's pile split yet, so I have two loads (slightly over one cord) to split by my stack now.
We will likely be doing a minimum of one more trip next week, then I have to decide if I want to keep going back after that and maybe sell some. I just about have enough wood for 2012-13 and 2013-14 now. Honestly, if I was to make a ballpark estimate of how many trips it would take to get all the really nice pieces of wood there, I would have to say at least 30 more trips, so there is probably at least 15 cords more of wood to cut in those woods. We have just been grabbing the easy to get to stuff right now that are right by the trails.
