Great pics Al. Firewood? We have no trees that big. The pony is cool and the barn is outragious. Nice calves and I'd say time well spent.

Nice looking barn. How much hay ya think has made its way to the top of that old girl?

Barry, the reason you dont have any trees that big is because Canada has been selling us lumber down here for ever.

Looks like a nice place to spend the day.

Glad you guys had fun.

That tree died this year from those moths......

those things are killing every oak in sight

I figure Ryan will see those picks 30 years from now and say ........What is that big thing I am standing next too?
you can see some of the damage in the second pic where the bark is falling off.

Jim, I have put a good bit of hay in that barn before and I tell ya.....it holds a lot! My brother in law is talking about fixing it all up this year......I hope he does, It's a dandy....Post an beam inside... but shes sinking.....lot of work replacing those posts

I believe that it was used at one time to drag logs to a saw mill way up on top of the ridge........

can you imagine that trip over and over all day long....
