The Black Walnut Trip: Log Blog--Part 3 of 5

We went to sleep listening to the calls of a Great Horned Owl hunting nearby in the moonlight.  We were both awake very early and decided to get an early start in order to miss heavy traffic.   After a really good cup of coffee and some apple cake,   we hit the road at 4:45 AM!!!

The sun came up and cast a pink glow on the Catskill Mountains.  The traffic was light.  The load of logs in the truck and trailer rode easily and presented no problems. 

 

 

After several hours of driving, we were back in Vermont.  This is an interesting view of Birds Eye as we came in on Route 7.  Since we did not have much breakfast and it was lunch time when we arrived back home, we decided to have scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes and coffee for lunch.  I made brunch for lunch while Rich unloaded the logs alone.  Hmmm   Unloading must be easier than loading and I think he used the fork lift on the tractor.
