Our land is nice, but has a couple annoying problems. In 1985 a F5 tornado blew threw the area and level many of the old trees. See the story here: 1985 F5 Tornado Information Mother Nature always finds a way to bounce back and this was no exception, however, 7 years later...a careless fire became out of control and climbed from the bottom of the mountain and up to the summit. It erased a good portion of the regrowth and forced nature to restart once again. Fast forward to today...the area needs a good scouring of small tree stumps and 4-6" tall tree trunks that have remained from these two incidents. The goal on this trip is to remove as many of these tripping hazards as possible over the course of a full day of work. Four areas require extra attention: The 20X12' deck zone, the camper placement area, the parking area and the fire ring. All of them need to be graded since they are on enough of a decline to cause issues with camp setup and comfort.While I have the heavy machinery out there, I will also attemtpt to flatten some of the high spots along the access driveway. And, the remaining downed trees will be chained and towed to a staging area for splitting for firewood.
I'd like to thank several individuals that have helped us greatly with their contributions and generosity:
My Father, for use of his F250
My cousin Dave, for use of his HD Trailer
My Buddy Greg, for use of his tractor
