Saturday February 6, Paw Paw Woods
It was scheduled to be one of our Atrium Landscape days but the crew was forced to cancel, putting all the pressure on Kevin, the only certified and suited-up chain sawyer present. He did fine, cutting enough to keep the rest of us busy dragging and burning.
It was a pretty day, with deep snow that we started out wading through and eventually tramped down to a hard pack around our single fire. Early on there weren't many trail users, though a few came along before quitting time. Maybe it was the cold; under ten degrees at the start, maybe 12-15 at quitting time. With little wind and lots to do you don't really notice the cold, especially once the fire starts cooking. I believe we numbered nine, some of the usual suspects plus our friend Marc whom we hadn't seen in a little bit.
We'll be back at Paw Paw on February 13, this time with the Atrium crew expected. Ought to be a good time!
Diana canceled her scheduled workday at McClaughrey on Sunday Feb. 7 due to cold temps, and Bob Arentz never scheduled one at Cap Sauers that afternoon for the same reason.
