A call from relatives in New Jersey was the inspiration for this trip. Some trees had fallen on their lot and as a result, had to be cut. One of the trees was identified as a black walnut by the tree service who cut it and now it was cut into logs and laying on the ground. Who do you call? Rich "Treetrunk" Lunna!
After some thinking and planning, he was prepared to go and pick up the logs with his new Toyota Tacoma pickup and a trailer. Calls had been made to our insurance guys at Washburn & Wilson Agency; to White River Toyota about the weight limits on the truck; to check tire pressure recommendations for both truck and trailer; and several to New Jersey to make sure of the length and diameter of the logs in order to calculate their weight. All the required documents, inspections, directions, tools, etc. were loaded and we were ready to go.
We were up at 5 AM and left at 6:15. It is a 300 mile trip and because we were pulling a trailer, we took it slow and easy. We only passed one car all the way down!
