The land that we sold to the DOT awile back for the new freeway was logged today...can see the road from the back porch.
Took all of a morning and five acres of timber was on the ground...a trac feller can knock down a 80' pine in less than a few seconds...and they stack the trees and keep on moving. Looked like something out of a Warner Bros cartoon...moves right up to a tree and and in a second it is cut, grappled, lifted and laid in a stack, all in one quick motion.
Will take a bit of something to get use to having a freeway out the back door....could be time to really retire to the country.
