This has very little Becker content, so if the mods wanna delete it, feel free. I did take my BK9, and it sliced through small saplings with a single blow with no problems. I didn't get any photos, however. I only got one shot of the 9 for another task.
Cleared some trees and brush out behind the cabin. I kind of left the trunks high, so I would have something to hold onto while navigating the rocky slope.
Looking up behind the cabin. Right behind the brush is some cool rock outcroppings. I think I'm gonna clear this area out for one, so trees don't fall on the cabin, but also because I think it will look nice:
There's two small trees next to the water tank, that I'm thinking about cutting to about 6 or so feet high, and making a table between them for a place to put the camp stove. There's some brick in a pile right there, so I'm thinking of using them for a platform to stand on:
The trees appear to be dying anywhos:
That dead tree in the upper left is a concern. I need to get my chainsaw up there, and get some work done:
Got a fire going:
Sun setting behind the hill. That cut of tree is driving me crazy. Gonna be firewood before too long:
Getting ready to do some dogs over the fire:
First hot dog over the fire. Woo hoo:
Wife getting some java going:
Sun up, coming over the hill:
Smoke rings, haha:
The 2 bent over saplings need to come down. I'm gonna selectively thin that side of the hill out:
The nice thing about them, is that they did hide the power lines:
Yet blocked the view out over the river valley. The power lines kinda screw the scenery up a bit, but, it is what it is:
Zoomed in:
Looking down the lane from the driveway:
Cabin from the lane:
Walking down to the river:
Blackberries for days:
Wife picked a few. She's gonna make a few blackberry scones with em:
Climbed up the hill a bit behind the cabin. This is the view from there:
Getting the bacon going:
Wife gave me a spatula, but I preferred a sharpened stick:
Worked great:
Potatoes in the bacon grease:
Oh yeah:
We went for a short jaunt. There's an opening in the trees, going down the lane. This is the view from there:
To the highway:
Millstream Gardens is just a few miles away:
Cool tree. This is at Tiemann Shut Ins:
