We're were just cutting enough to see that we were going straight with the driveway, but then got into the thick stuff and my cousin decided it was good enough for some firewood so we started putting it aside and cutting up some bigger trees as they'd just go to waste if the mulcher came through.
Problem with these spruce trees is the crazy amount of large limbs, you have to cut all them before you even get near the trunk and then you're tripping over them until you mulch or burn them.

Beautiful spot blur, that would be a dream for me. Looking forward to reading about your progress, regardless of how fast or slow it is.

I have a driveway, well, about 20 feet of driveway.







It helps to have a friend with a dump trailer and tractor.  Total cost $800

I just watched a guy reel in three mackerel on a rod, all at once, landed them all. 
It'll be fun

It's interesting that those deer look identical to the ones we have here in SW Tennessee, very different conditions, same deer. We have them hanging out like that in our yard daily.

They're all whitetail deer.

When I was growing up here there were no deer or moose on the island. The moose started coming back here about 20 years ago, deer a bit more recently.  I still haven't seen any deer here in real life, just on my trail-cam.  Moose are fairly common to see.

It's our last night on the island, heading back to Ontario tomorrow.  We don't really want to leave this time.
