Levitation

Cutting firewood is hard work but when you can float the wood over to the truck it becomes much easier. We went up into Moonlight Valley today to get a load. As you can see there are a lot of cut trees laying on the ground right next to the road but unfortunately most of it is white fir and not a desirable species for firewood. If you look closely though, there are some pieces of douglas fir and also some yellow pine, both of which I will take when I am looking for softwood. Today was a softwood day so we got a pretty good load again. Tomorrow it will be back to oak and a lot closer to home. It took us a little over an hour to drive down from Moonlight Valley and I really don't like traveling that far to get wood. Hey, we live in the woods so I'm getting spoiled... ok? Oh, and levitation is just one of my many wood cutting skills.
