Lots of chainsawing, chaining up trees, and pulling put with the tractor.
We had 80 mph straight line winds come through. I must have over 100 trees down. Many are over 100 yrs old.
Worked all day yesterday and have one trail to the pond open. The long way around will take weeks. These are huge trees for my little saw and tractor. I’m retired, so taking a lot of breaks. No rush. Great exercise!
No trees actually fell in the pond. The wind came in from the north, and that’s where the dam is. Looks like a tornado came through.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
