man that sucker just crumbled! wow -- I have a HUGE cottonwood tree that has limbs dying on it -- seems some HUGE limbs that were cut off years ago are now hollowed out and no doubt holding water... apparently it was quoted several years before we bought the property in 01 of about $10K to remove it!!!

I was very very suprised that there were not any tree huggers complaining when we cut that one down. There was another one that was half in half out of our cut line and we decided to leave it. It was bigger than the one that was 225 years old. They took all of the wood to a mill to have cut down for lumber, its not like we shreded them.

Yeah, there's really no good wood in that thing to be able to mill anything decent out of it. Its nice you guys had the room to just drop it though. I hate getting into that old wood with my spikes on. Climbing that stuff your never sure just how strong it is, and even when the safety line catches you, you never know exactly what your gonna hit on the swing. I take it you guys pulled it over with the tractor?
