This is another view of the tree across the stream.

After I cut the trunk free of the canopy, I tied a rope to the tree and cut it at the stump. The tree SPLASHED into the stream and my helpers’ wrangled it to shore.

This is a picture of the log after my helpers wrestled it to shore.

This is a picture of my wife Linda and I getting ready to haul the logs up the hill.

Logs in the van.

My helpers and I had to pull the logs 1/8 mile up a rather steep hill. We strapped the logs to a hand truck with large pneumatic tires.
