Annual Campground Tree Crew

Each year the hardworking concessionaires and camphosts team up to cut down "hazard trees" that might come down on their own in windy conditions and storms.  To avoid problems (and to provide the camp with much needed firewood for cozy campfires throughout the season) it was necessary for the tree cutting crew to come in "drop" 55 trees this year.  It is Red's job to move them from the drop sites.  . . notice they are blocking roads in the campground once the cutting crew moves on to the other campgrounds they manage.  Meanwhile, Red will spend many hours of back breaking work getting them cut up into useable sticks of firewood.   The next time you view that woodpile know your hard working host and the tree crew put in many hours making your stay enjoyable!  It will be an "ongoing" process to get all this wood in useable condition as it dries out.
