Honest sweat, good rest

Now Chris joins me to enjoy a good fire and land cleared by helpful sons. Titus inspects the area as usual. Not sure what he's looking for; but probably something nasty to roll in.

Lumberjacks: Chris and Jon

Jon and Chris carry a good-sized cedar trunk to the fire. I'm grateful for their assistance...as you can see I can only do so much before I need to "supervise operations".

More Clearing near the Bridge

Chris tries his hand at chainsawing a cedar tree to free up a larger cherry tree. Jon taught Chris the chainsaw basics and let him at it. Jon and Chris worked hard to clear about a dozen trees near the bridge. We're slowly making the road safe to travel in case of a forest fire.
