Thursday, October
24, 2013:
Mark "Paul Bunyan lumberjack" Persons was out cutting up a
63-foot three which had fallen in a recent brisk wind.
This popple, otherwise known as an American Aspen, took several
smaller trees with it.
Plenty of cutting and cleanup to do.

Then it was off to the wood
splitting area where Paula showed off just half of what needed to be
dealt with.

 |
|
Mark, the wood chopper, was seen with a splitter making the trees
into firewood.
Good heavy exercise.
Mark was seen wearing the top part of one of his old U.S. Army
fatigue uniforms. He can still just barely fit into it after
35 years and 30 extra pounds.

Wood stacker Paula paused for a
photo while putting the wood up for the winter.
More good exercise.
The wood should burn well in the Grand Fireplace at the Lodge this
winter.
