Gathering Fence Posts

December 7th, 2008

Close to the farm there is a radar site that had old poles that were not going to be used anymore.  The poles were big and heavy and took a bit of cutting and maneuvering to load them up and haul them out to the land.  The radar site itself is pastured by a nearby farmer.  While we were there some of the cows decided to come check us out.  The brown cow in the front actually put her head right into the truck at one point.  After a while they just kept moving on and we finished gathering the poles and left.

Gathering Poles

December 4th, 2008

In the fall of 2007 Dad managed to get a hold of some free power poles.  We managed to cut them up and haul them to the land in two loads.  We still didn’t have a very good road into the land, just a turkey trail we cut through the trees.  This was the steapest part (we only got stuck there once, without a load of poles).
