Week of Mar 11, #1 Paul Bunyan strikes again

The South is the land of many big trees! In only 6 months, I won't be able to cut them all down!!

This one had been dead for some time, and was in danger of falling down across the road of one of our members. He didn't have to ask me twice to fall it!

This one came down perfectly. With the notch properly cut, and the felling wedges driven in the back cut, it came down exactly where I wanted it.

Only one small glitch. The videographer was pressed into service without any rehearsal. As the big tree started to topple, she took her eye off the viewfinder - did get some great audio of the tree crashing and splintering - and video of nice green grass.
