Long story short my father went to camp yesterday, or should I say tried? He called me last night from home and said he couldn't get to camp because the storm we had Friday night knocked down a tree across the road leading into where our camp is built. So since my dog was overdue a camp trip we loaded him up and headed down to see if the tree had been cleared and I took my chainsaw just in case.
The road was in fact cleared but we had large trees down all around the camp, about 20. Fortunately none landed on our camp but a camp across the road had a HUGE tree drop right through the roof. So huge in fact it moved the entire structure off it's foundation block.
So we spent the entire day cutting, dragging and stacking up wood. We got the back yard and beside the camp cleared out but I still have to go back this week to clear two more trees in the front of the property. Once those are done I will begin clearing out the trails leading out of the back of the camp which we use to access our hunting area.
I'm not sure if they are confirming a tornado, or it was what they call "down bursts" in the region. Regardless it made a really big mess that stretches a good 20-25 miles across the mountain.
I think I need a nap
