The first pic reminded me of heading up Cabbage outside Pendleton. That’s a long slog

My ‘68 c10 burb bringing home goodies.
1969 cst blazer that I bought and Never should’ve sold.. Was a bad week and it solved the problem, but I wish I had it back.
And, dragging in what we refer to as “The Ugly Truckling”. It’s a ‘72 c30 underneath that hideous flat nosed outhouse of a cab.
It’s towed everything from civics to a rolls royce Less than ideal but it doesn’t complain a bit

Driven to Lewiston a bunch of times for work. I never seemed to be lucky enough to have good weather when I was there. It was either 95+ degrees, or raining, or snowing, or 10 degrees. The locals would always say " It's not normally like this"
Beautiful country.

It's definitely God's country.... although it's bordered by Hells canyon! The pictured road is state road 129 in Washington which connects with hiway 3 in Oregon. Anyone up to a scenic trip should come check it out. Rattlesnake grade on the north end is 10 miles of 6% grade and Buford grade on south end is 10 miles of 6% grade with the grande ronde river at the bottom.

Cut some firewood today. Shaggybark costs $250 a cord, month out, from a professional firewood supplier. This is much more enjoyable!

Cool! I have people say it isn't worth their time to cut wood over buying. I'd rather spend Sunday cutting firewood all day than pay $250 to watch a football game on my couch.

I was on my way Saturday morning last weekend to go cut & haul wood in my '72. I stopped at the corner for gas, realized I forgot my wallet before pumping, went to start the truck, and terrible grinding from the starter. It did grind a bit when I started it. It was pretty cold that morning. I drifted it back to the corner of the lot, tried again and the gear wasn't even engaging. Turns out a starter bolt supplied with the mini-starter broke off.

You couldn't pay me enough to watch pro-kneeling!! It was a beautiful day to be out, got exercise. Got 95% of the tree, need to sharpen the chainsaw, and go one more time.

That is a great picture right there!

Hauled 1/2 ton gravel for the driveway. I sort of cringed when it hit the floor and watched the suspension sag, but can hardly tell there is a load! Except driving up the long steep hill.

[special-K]

Looks happy to me.

My dad bought a twin to that truck at Claude Withers Chevrolet, brand new, in 1968. It was a 6 cylinder, TOT, with smog pump.

I have cut a lot of trees and firewood over the last 45+ years, but at the risk of asking a dumb question, what is Shaggybark? A nickname or the real name for a type of tree?

[special-K]

I don't know the answer either. Might be a cedar or juniper being in AZ. Back east we have shag bark hickory. I learn of more tree species around this country all the time, as well as right here where I live. It's pretty incredible, all that nature has created

No worries! Arizona has at least 3 varieties of wild Juniper, Alligator has a bark that is like a checkerboard, not as messy as .... Shaggybark is a generic term for the bark that is a huge mess, so we have two species, the one I cut is Utah Juniper. I only know that because this summer I visited Navajo National Monument, and a sign by the tree described it. There is also a Juniper that is planted for landscaping, it's wood is more like Pine. In fact, I lined the driveway with the big branches, since they were live and need to cure, looked like a good spot.

I hauled another half ton of gravel.

Soon , I’ll be posting a pic of my 68 k1500 hauling my 69 mustang on a trailer and my 67 Triumph motor cycle in the truck bed. It’s been a dream of mine to do this , it’s just been waiting on the truck . Which will be done soon.

Brought home some flooring. This was the second load. 70 boxes in all. The guy said he didn't want to over load the truck. I thought it could handle it.

Towing a mini digger to move some soil at home.
