Logging of Sorts

I had high hopes of driving over the mountains to a sno-park where I could run the sled today. Last night I waxed the sleds and sorted out harnesses and lines. Even though it is a 200 mile long drive for a one to two mile sled run, I am going crazy hobbling around and want to run the dogs. Unfortunately my ankle hurt enough to keep me awake most of the night. I decided I would have to settle for a rig run but this is what our road looked like...

...not safe for dog feet, a tipsy rig or unstable ankle.
Plan B: a quad run through the woods.

Until he is a couple months older, I really shouldn't be running Trask as far as I did on Friday. That means clearing out blow-downs so I can have a shorter route to exercise the dogs.
This is tree #1 I cut with a hand saw and moved from across the road.

Every turn there were more trees to cut and log out of the way.

The dogs had a great time exploring and chasing each other, deer and squirrels as I sawed away.

Even after spending the afternoon logging out 6 trees, when we came back gravel road was still frozen.
