Some folks might remember we got hit with an October snow that just destroyed trees up here. I noticed this new hanger after some windstorms right over a trail and decided it had to go! Work has been such a stress fest, I decided to do it the hard way and see what the BR is made of!

The sucker was big, but deader than a door nail so i figured, how bad could it be? It's rotted right?

Around now, I was thinking I need Vic and his DFLE, Jared and his KZ...or anybody and a chainsaw!

After this I was just hanging on..bailed on the idea of dropping it next to the trail and just hoped I had enough juice to finish the job!

Finally! Hear one crack and 5 seconds later down it came! Whew...
