Progress cutting Alders

Progress cutting Alders

Progress cutting Alders   I took advantage of the beautiful weather Friday and managed to make good progress on cutting Alders and opening up more view. Some of these Alders are right at the slope of the ravine getting pretty high up there for me to reach with the chainsaw. I bought the smallest saw […]

Cleared Birch Trees

Cleared Birch Trees

Cleared Birch Trees   This shot showing a similar view as the picture on the right after clearing lots of Alders that were growing in and around the Birch Trees. You will also notice the moose weren’t there this morning. The area I’m clearing today is up at the back North East border of the […]

Motley Crew

Motley Crew

Motley Crew   Well, the Alders I have cut down yesterday sure got the attention of the nearby moose cows, the word must have got out that I was laying out a buffet. All the tops with the new buds are now laying on the ground in a nice neat pile. When I went out […]

Clearing Trees!

Clearing Trees!

Clearing Trees!   Mostly cutting Alders again today, but tomorrow the two Birch in the picture are coming down too. That will leave one nice Birch in the very back and out of the way. The area pictured will make two of the pull out spaces for larger RV’s and the view from up here […]

Spring Inspiration!

Spring Inspiration!

Spring Inspiration!   Oh ya seeing the benefits of the clearing of last fall, the area here will be two spaces for longer term RV’s mine and one other lucky camper! I’ve trimmed the Alders in front that used to block the view of Grewink Glacier. The pasture up behind is home to herds of […]

Spring like Weather   Getting the rest of this scrap and debris outta here! If the rain holds off I’ll be able to rake up the small stuff and continue with the Alder clearing and burning. I am stoked!

Loading #17

Loading #17

Loading #17 This load is all scrap steel and remaing metal scrap, tanks and barrels. I finally ran load #16 to the landfill yesterday that was the frozen load which has been sitting since January 13th and was  by far the hardest and worst load to unload that I’ve hauled to the landfill so far. […]

Clearing The Ravine

Clearing The Ravine

Clearing The Ravine   This kinda gives an idea as to how big the Ravine is, I’d say it’s about 75′ x 45′ give or take I’m about 3/4 of the way around cutting Alders down to about 3′ off the ground. These will grow out as stealthily bushes. They completely surround the Ravine. I […]

Moose Bones

Moose Bones

Moose Bones Found several Moose bones down in the ravine while cutting Alders, must of been a pretty big animal, the skull and jaw bones are surprisingly intact the lower jaw has all teeth intact! Animals must have carried several away while there are lots of bones it’s not nearly complete. I didn’t dig around […]

Alder Hedge

Alder Hedge

Alder Hedge   Wow it was such a beautiful day yesterday, I started topping the Alders for the  Alder Hedge separating the upper RV sites from the extra lower parking area. It took me most of the day to do about 40′, it’s going to be a nice hedge though, real thick. I’ll continue today […]
