Gail and Kirk were looking for two things. One, logs which would make nice firewood. Two, straight logs, preferably Lodgepole Pine, which would make nice supports for part of the new porch roof. We found both, luckily. I could tell that I was a true novice at this because I had pictured cutting the logs into burnable lengths, then splitting them at home. Kirk is smarter than that. He cuts the logs into liftable sizes and then hauls them home to cut at his leisure - should he ever have any.
The route to and from the area where we found the log piles was gorgeous. The light wasn't right, and the air was full of dust and moisture, so that many sights I would have loved photographing just wouldn't make nice pictures. However, here is a small record of the woodcutting, and some pictures of an aspen grove dropping it's leaves.
