Well, that was a long day of cutting and digging out debris and trees just to get the driveway clear enough to get the bobcat up the hill to start removing the big stuff.

My parents house only has moderate damage compared to ones 100' away, but their property in general is wasted. My mom has been landscaping near daily for 10 years and in 1 minute, it is mostly gone. Almost every tree on the 1.5 acre property is gone or damaged enough that it has to come down. The 60-80' trees were a barrier to the noise from hwy 70 so that aspect will never come back in my lifetime. Everything can be rebuilt except for the mature trees.

Mother Nature is a biitch.

Thankfully about 35 family members and friends showed up to help. We had over 15 chain saws running all day long and we barely scratched the surface on the cleanup project. Most folks drove 1.5 hours to help. We made big piles out of bigger piles and logged the trees for the sawmill. We logged cherry and walnut.
