Wood cut

Scout arrived at our house at 6 am. Three deacon age and three teacher age including Andy. We drove to Mt Hood and got there at 8 am. We imediatly started working passing wood into the lodge in long lines. The lodge is big enough for 70 Scouts to sleep. It also has a larg proffisional grill like a restaurant. It is called Nanitch. Anyway, there was a very large stack of wood already there about 6 feet high and on the other side of the lodge was a large pile of trees on the ground. While we passed wood into the lodge and filled the basement and then stacked more onto the large pile a big group of men cut up the trees with saws and split them with wedges and sedge hammers. It was a facinating site with 50 men spliting and sawing and seveal hundred boys in several long lines passing wood. We worked steady until 1:30 PM. Then they had a lottery with the Scoutmasters for weekends to use the lodge. We will be going on February 23rd.
