Despite the almost non-stop rain throughout December and January and now February, I managed to get a couple burn piles going. Winter is such a perfect time for a bonfire. I hadn't done one for several months and was surprised at how much I missed the smell and the satisfaction of cleaning up and making things look nicer.
Last Saturday was the first full Saturday I've been able to spend at the prop in quite a while. I made sure to take full advantage and worked all day on a field I've been wanting clear for a long time. I had the presence of mind this time to take a good "before" picture, to show how much I as able to get done. Note the two cedars in right foreground as a reference point.
After a lot of cutting and dragging, I was able to get the bulldozer in and really get things going. To give an idea of how hot the fire got, after two days and huge several hour rainstorm, I came back Tuesday and found several spots still smoldering and burning. Good thing I had a large firebreak all around it.
The next step will be to clean up the rest, level it, disc it, and plant some kind of seed that deer would love to eat. This will make and awesome hunting plot and will look beautiful as well.
