No good or easy way to answer that question without having your location in your profile. Click on your forum name and it will take you there. An update will help.  ;)

X2 about the profile update.  It helps with questions, plus we like to know who our neighbors are.   

Your options are very limited in West Texas and transportation cost will be a killer.  I have no suggestions, but Welcome to the Forestry Forum.

I agree fellas, I will work on it! I live in lubbock TX hardly any trees at all. But I bought land near Chama New Mexico and want to build a log cabin on it .

Drove thru Chama one time during the later part of October and thought the area was very pretty.  Took US 64 from the Grand Canyon, all the way to Taos.  I remember viewing the Brazso Peak area as we drove up the mountain.

I imagine that you will need to contact the USFS about a designated area in a National Forest that allows harvesting Lodgepole Pine, etc.  There may be some areas in Colorado such as Navajo Peak East of Chromo.

Welcome aboard. Chama is a nice area for a cabin. There are lots of beetle kill pine. How to get it I have no idea. Surely there is some way to get enough to build a cabin before it all rots away. Good luck and when you get it built, we will have to drop by and say howdy. bg
