A Visit To Pond Creek Logging



I stopped in to see how Jason and his partner were getting along, and had the pleasure of watching several big old white oaks being dropped and hauled. This patch of woods is well into over-maturity, and the red oaks were all damaged by fire about sixty years ago. You can identify the red oak logs by the hole in the middle. White oak bark is more fire resistant, and those trees were in much better condition. Jason asked if I would like to drop a big white oak, and having a sense of value of those trees, I declined; but did take down a hickory and a big post oak. Thanks, Jason!
