Where's your land?

20 miles from Cuba, at 9,000 feet - 10 of the miles are on FR 103 which is a pretty good road. It's pine mostly.
We have a patio fire pit so not a lot of wood is necessary but we would probably enjoy the trip... let me check with Kay.
Geez, only ten cords per person?

Well, that's about a legal load...
I would like to go; primarily to try to scavenge any pinion/juniper, but otherwise I'm willing to cut/buck/limb as needed. If I can't find any juniper, I'm willing to cut pine for someone else. My Tacoma will haul about 1/4 cord (4'x6'x16") nicely; so if you want more, you'll need a truck, or at least a trailer that I can tow behind the Taco.

For those interested, (hopefully) I will not get up there until mid afternoon on Saturday - depends on how things go Thursday with my niece:
Track & field preview: CSU's Hemphill competes in NCAA championships - COLORADO STATE OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE

Good Luck to your niece! CSU was the school I was planning to attend, but the "free ride" did not pan out as well to what ND offtered me, so I changed in mid summer. I'll be routing for her and hope she does well. Good luck, and hope you can't make it for the wood run untill late Sat. afternoon.
That's big news! Please pass along congratulations to your niece. It's an honor to compete at that level. Best of luck to her in the competition!

Yep, it's mostly ponderosa and other pine - easy to split.

If you tell me that was all from memory I'm going to be impressed, even though you are a plant dude.
Nope. If you translate those into there scientific names they are alphabetical.

It looks like I'm not going to make it after all, thank you very much for the invite; man if the time were right; that could have been a full season of wood for us (maybe another run later in the year).

Ron,
I have permits for two cords in the Mountainair district of the Cibola forest. They're yours if you want them. They expire on 6/17/10 (only good for four weeks from the date of purchase).
