There was lots of short logs and brush piles the guys were not able to get out of the slough when I hired them to clean up. Since they are all floating, I took the opportunity to get as many of them as I could pushed across the clearing to the piles on the other side. Little brush and weeds will hang it up, so it was a job of work.

It also got in the corner of my camp. Nothing floated off though.
While I was in the area, I scoped out high ground for the hard sided camp I plan on building. (when I catch up with everything else) This wooded area is only a couple three acres, so it's going to be close to the pines on one side or the three trail road on the other. And you have to factor in hurricane damage. Lots of standing dead pines around this area that would have to be cut, but it's near my new camp, my old camp and X marks the spot.

I've been steady working, just not taking many pictures. My neighbor helped me get a couple of my tractors going, so you can actually see progress.
I found this slab down at the field. Looks to be about 12X10. Plans at the moment are for a garden shed on the slab with an attacked greenhouse over dirt. But that is a ways off. We got signed up for a timber recovery block grant, and we are holding off on doing much of anything until the forester comes out and looks at the woods.

I had to take out the rafters over the boats to get them out. There was also a trailer in the back that had a large section of the wall on it, plus another one outside that had pine logs on three sides of it. Was able to get everything out without damage. Been using the trailers a lot.

This, along with grading fire trails will be included in the next Olympics.

Funny thing is, the Forestry guys are on the farm this morning plowing fire breaks. I've got most of mine done myself, but Sister hired them to do around her land, and down one side of the river field. They charge $110 an hour with a two hour minimum. Not too bad.

I finally got out and walked the newly plowed fire breaks yesterday. All in all, they did pretty good. The two trees are about on the line between Sister's and cousin's land. This was as close as I could get to the river before. (by using a public road and my neighbor's pasture) Now I can walk the last 1/4 mile to the river.
