Road restrictions going on here this morning.  Supposed to be temporary, but we'll see.

[Corley5]

Frost laws went on in the surrounding counties this AM and go on here in Cheboygan Co. Monday AM.  They'll be on until spring  ;) ;D

[Bricklayer51]

They put weight law signs on both sides of the stop sign down at the corner .

The header is fortunately frozen solid and I hope it holds out till we are done. Have a feeling they will be posting the road if this warm weather holds on.

Shipped 2 loads so far, about 15 mbf, I estimate this pile around 12 mbf, averaging over 1000 feet /tree, this pile is about 10 hrs. work.

Not sure or not if it's that technology is helping old farts like us with pictures, but I do have to say that there's some epic shots coming in these days in this thread.   

We are all so fortunate that we don't do selfies from inside our cubicles on the 3rd aisle on the 19th floor.   :D :D

[jwilly3879]

I underestimated my log pile, shipped this load today and have another left for tomorrow.

[jwilly3879]

Jwilly.
What's pine like that paying over your way?

[chevytaHOE5674]

With temps in the 40's and 50's for the last week and 4 feet of snow on the ground its pretty wet and sloppy and hard to work too many places. A small hand cutting crew cut this job but didn't want to risk cutting near these powerlines so they left a 50-100 foot buffer strip. So I've spent the last few days thinning that buffer strip down along 3/4-1 mile of pole line. Not the most fun and much more stressful than cutting in the woods someplace but at least its work.

Local mill is paying $250 straight through to 8"

[802hlake]

White pine after pine after pine. pretty nice 4 @ 16 footers

[coxy]

how do you guys load a truck on that much of a slant if I did that the truck would roll over  ;) :D 8) 8)

 I'm always impressed to see the pine you guys cut up north, it can be hard to find good BIG wp around here sometimes. That picture is from a few months ago walking wood with my father, I've been cutting the HW off this lot when I've got time, 250+ pine like those that go on the lower half. We used to send alot of pine slabs to Northville, "ADK" pine, 😂 from the Catskills.


 
  I should be home playing in the mud /cutting wood, my relief begged me for another week home so like a fool I said ok,  😂 17 days of fun and games so far, this was weds meltdown, "maintenance" around here for alot of stuff is, "run it till it dies", directly opposite of how we do it at home with our stuff.

Barge that's just a average wp here and there thousands of them as we donot cut many of them unless mil has a order to be filled

[ehp]

One big thing I see different from 99% of the pictures of your guys forest compared to ours here is  you guys have very little under bush , our forest here the under bush is real thick and you cannot see very far , the foresters want that and really hate seeing a bush with a clean floor

[barbender]

Why is that, just wildlife habitat or?

I know of 1 other place locally with nice big pine and they are almost too big and starting to die. If I aspired to cut the nice HW in volume like you have up there I would starve to death down here if I just cut good logs and had any payments to make. 😂
There's no undergrowth/ brush on these couple lots because of the soil. It's a sandy topsoil, the small stuff has choked anything else out from growing, it is almost close to washed sand for the first few ft, then ribbons of beautiful #1#2 round stone. We have been trying to buy this place for 10+yrs and my father did a few months ago.

[thecfarm]

I had some big eastern white pine,as in your picture. The under brush,kinda like that. After cutting all the big pine,can't even walk through there now. My Father said we need to cut a road for the pine to fall into. We would cut all the trees we thought would get knocked down. Looks so diffeant now. Don't look like the woods that I grew up in.

Some beautiful pictures of large white pine and hardwood on this thread.  Unfortunately I don't get to cut much of either as most properties around here have been raped pretty hard over the past number of decades.
