This was worth the gas.

Took a little trip this week and it turned out pretty good. Scored 22 osage logs, one stave and one set of billets. Also scored 150 port orford cedar shafts and a few other odds and ends including a Asbell Bighorn Ram Hunter longbow that was like new..

Nice got them all sealed up?

Wow. I picked up 2 limbs last week after a big storm passed through, and I thought I was lucky.
I'm jealous.

I'm surprised that dodge could haul that much weight. LOL

But that's a great load of Osage.

Congrats.

Nice haul!!!

mwosborn · May 19, 2017, 08:28:00 PM

Looks like a good trip! Have to agree with Roy on the Dodge! :D

Nice haul of osage. Some of it looks well aged already.

You are counting the lams in those logs

Drove from Ohio to Missouri then Kansas for it, the guy was selling it as fence post. Hey Roy I know what you mean, I'm a chevy guy myself. Borrowed the truck and trailer for he trip. Have some good friends. But it hauled it like it wasn't even back there.

Roy from Pa · May 20, 2017, 03:52:00 PM

Good thing ya took the Dodge then. Chevy would have never hauled it..

kennym · May 20, 2017, 04:11:00 PM

I had to take my Chevy to the doctor.....

kennym · May 20, 2017, 07:17:00 PM

Wait for it........

It had a Toyota stuck right in the air cleaner and was plugged up. Took that TRD out and pitched in the trash can and ol Chev was good as new.

My truck has 209000 miles on it. Love my GM products, The Dodge is just all set up for pulling and better fuel mileage than my 1998 pickup. No new truck in my future until I retire.

Mad Max · May 20, 2017, 10:07:00 PM

202000 On my GMC

Roy from Pa · May 21, 2017, 04:49:00 AM

LOL Kenny..

Crooked Stic · May 21, 2017, 05:52:00 PM

Only good thing about Dodge is you can get a Cummins in it. Then the engine outlasts the truck.

scrub-buster · May 21, 2017, 06:18:00 PM

Nice haul!

ffdiggs · May 21, 2017, 09:29:00 PM

need to start splitting it this week, gonna be busy. But it is all sealed up and sprayed for bugs so I don't have to rush, but it is easier to move in stave form than its current state.

George Tsoukalas · May 22, 2017, 09:50:00 AM

Well done! Looks like some good osage there. Jawge
