Getting Ready for Winter

Here's the first installment on keeping Nancy warm this winter - 5 or 6 more piles of this nature will be required!

Thankfully we recently (last year) purchased a hydraulic splitter - it is awesome! You can split pieces of wood that were previously left in the forest; those knots have a high heat content due to the resins and density - love to burn them - just hate to try and split them with an 8# maul!

Wonderland Trail - Completed

Nancy and I walked around Mt. Rainier in 11 days and 10 nights - > 90 miles. It was a gruelling, demanding, gorgeous, spectacular, awe inspiring hike. The elevation changes were the greatest challenge - usually up 2500-3000' each day and down about that same amout (what goes up has to come down!).
