Tree Farm Location

No hardwood harvest plans are in my near future.

In 2004 (before Katrina in 2005) I had bought out my Sister's interest in the place and was using a timber sale to close the deal.  The timber had already been marked, bidded, and sold before Katrina.  The timber buyer took the Katrina damage loss.  I, of course, took a loss on the "unmarked and unsold" trees.  I was then able to sell some, and the WM got really busy.....

I have no pine except the open pastures that I planted in the Spring of 2005, and they have really taken off.  I planted 5K Oaks in 2009, and will plant 1K each year in "Hack n Squirt" areas for the next 2-3 years.

Yes, I would think it would be difficult to imagine the hurricane damage to forest's in the South if you haven't seen it first hand.  Too bad about the loss.  Sounds like your on the right track.  I look forward to hearing about the progress of your hardwood planting in the coming years.

Took a picture out of the cabin back door yesterday looking West.

Where are the golf clubs and the tee off? ;D

Nice view for watching deer, and hunting them too I suspect.  ;)

I watched 11 in that little green patch last Thursday evening.  Yes, very enjoyable and relaxing.

My tree farm reached to the trees in the distant horizon.  In other words, if I can see it.....it's mine.....

There is a hardwood tree on the right side in the background that you can see over the planted pines that has a huge crown.  Any ideal of the species?

Cherrybark red oak.  It's about a 40" "fence row" tree.

The 3 oldest trees on the place are in the 6' range.  Seems like the largest is 75-76"  I keep forgetting and need to re-measure those trees and write it down.  You can see two of them a bit to the right beyond the one that you mentioned.  They are probably 25' lower in elevation.

I was figuring it was fence row, after I went back and looked at your aerial view in relation to the camp site.

If you look at the Satellite view on my "Profile" map, you/I can actually pick out the tree.  That's spooky.  You can see my favorite fishing hole too.... ;D

furby sent me some detailed instructions and I got it. I missed a few corners.I have about 20 acres in fields and 140 in woods.






There is a small field in the woods,about in the bottom middle.Above the field to the left is another clearing,my wood yard,with a tail,woods road really,that trails off to the left.I'm surprised the wood road shows up at all.There is a field on each side of the road.our house is on the left side.Kinda shows up as a white spot.There are 2 white spots.One is our garden.

Ya might have an arrowhead there.  ;D

That Furby is clever.

Maybe its because I am in MS ,
Cfarm, but your farm could be made into a sign to "Maine,  head northeast."

Clicking on the "Profile" now makes more sense.  It's a pity that we can't superimpose those property lines on there.

It's strange how property lines just evolve over the years and become so irregular.  Our ancestors, etc. followed natural landmarks, creeks, and trails.  Land was added/removed in blocks which makes surveyors happy.

It makes me smile seeing that other folks have odd shaped property also.....

I've driven across Texas 60+ times.  The sun will rise and set and you will still be in Texas.

I had a truck like that once! :D

Actually, I grew up in San Antonio and still call Texas my home.
