4 10 2010 Tree Falling

Steve decided to fall a maple today. He borrowed my come-a-long to help pull it in the right direction. Vera alerted me when it looked like time to fall, so I grabbed the camera and headed out.
Steve pounding wedges in the tree. As you can see it was leaning pretty bad right into a fir tree. It also had branches intertwined with the fir. The hinge finally broke and the tree settled the wrong way, toward the road. After several attempts at pulling it over, the tension on the come-a-long was so great that Steve could hardly pull it. Finally one more click and it started going.

On the ground at last, it hit pretty hard and broke in several places. Lots of fun, I can hardly wait for the next time.
