We got word that Dan needed an orchard taken out on Saturday afternoon. Word spread quickly and pretty soon we had a whole bunch of people out at the Holmes' place on Sunday morning.
The Score:
900+ Nectarine Trees
5 chainsaw cuts per tree = 4500 Chainsaw cuts
6 Pieces of tree per tree (two trunks, two tops, stump and root ball) = 5400 tree pieces. Stacked and or chipped.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 10000 individual operations done in a great big hurry. We had around 4 chainsaws, 2 tractors, a gator, and a bobcat and somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 people hacking, cutting, dragging, chipping and stacking.
LUNCH WAS GREAT!!! Chicken, Sausages, Tater Salad, Desserts. . .mmmmmm
Overall, we had big fun. Post up if you were there. I don't remember everyone. If you saw me do a low level flyby after I had left, I wanted to show the kiddos what we did all day!!!

I was out there, and tried to get in on some of the labor, but a bit of back damage and a worn out chain on my saw sort of nipped that
