Had some time this afternoon, so I grabbed the camera, warmed up the tractor and headed for the woods. We have dozens of deadfall trees that we're trying to clear up without tearing up the healthy hardwoods nearby. Here are some photos taken while events unfolded.
Photo 1 Today's target... blowdown from 2-3 years ago, about 80 ft. long, still attached at the roots with entire tree still in one piece. In a shallow ravine running parallel to the trail, sloping uphill and entangled with other blowdowns at the crown. Overlapping logs had been previously removed.
