It’s not be raining quite so frequently as earlier in the summer, so yesterday Mark Smith tried again to move logs from the powerline cut up to the area near my wood boiler.  We were hoping that the soil would have dried enough to give his skidder some traction.  Starting out, things seemed to be going well.

 

 

 

 

But when he got to the tricky bit that undid him last time, things were not any better

 

 

He finished out pulling that load up to the landing, but it was clear that it didn’t make sense to continue.
