Burning Hunk

I'm a new member here, thought this would be a good way to introduce myself, get to know others...

Post a couple of pics of 'your neck of the woods', and maybe a little bio...


I live in Central Utah. Been burning wood all my life. Been working on a log home for the past 3 years or so. Just purchased a 28-3500 from Englander. I'll have to do an 'install' thread soon. But since this is the Picture Perfect section of the forum... on with the pics!


This is where I go get wood. Lots of beetle kill. Mostly Englemann Spruce. I also cut a fair amount of Juniper (which I prefer)

This is what my driveway looks like in the winter.

This is close to where I 'work'

And my giant wood pile, that I currently live in...

This is where i grew up, the place where I live now is nice but it does not lend well to photo's.

Cool! That's one area of the world I've never spent time in.
 
It must suck living in such a place!
 
Shots around my hood. I'm in the burbs around 15 miles South of Boston, MA.

Yep, the rock!!! I grew up riding a boat and Quad, did not get my Drivers license till I was 26. Not allot of need for it in my hometown.

No, he's right! Utah is a horrible, horrible place to live. No one should even consider it! ;-)


Nice pics, Xena and Skin!



Here's another from about 5 miles away from where I grew up (SW. Utah)

I agree, except Moss Point, Mississippi. No offense to anyone from there.
 
I love that series, Woodsman. Do you swim in that pond, too?
 
OK, these are a couple of years old but every autumn carries the same delight:

September and October are two of the finest months of the year in my area. :)

My wife agrees with you . . . Fall is her favorite time of the year . . . no bugs, warm days, cool nights, good weather.

Me . . . I like all the seasons . . . well except for Black Fly Season . . . heck I even like Tourist Season and Mud Season . . . but I can't stand Black Fly Season.
 
Yep, black fies, and no-see-um's, and skeeter season, too. Although, skeeters were barely noticed this year.
Great pics Bobbin. Bev and I have been noticing more color change the last several days, mostly the Maples. We both love the cooler days and evenings.
I don't have any pics from this year yet, guess I should get on that. :red:
 
Nice pics all.



Here's a sunset pic from the 'Skyline Drive' about 20 minutes from my house. Elevation: 9000'. This is the plateau where I cut wood.
