how are your markets

[TaylorJohnson]

Hey Lancek, I have been by there a lot of times, right by your place. I don’t know if any one is using horses to log right around there. I have talked to a guy in that area that has some interest in logging with horse and has logged some with them ( I think that is what he said ) . He is a pretty good guy and sounds like he knows horses well I think he is running a carriage riding service in Rice Lake now days does weddings to. Looks like he has nice horses and fancy equipment . Were do you live now? Taylor Johnson
PS. do you know Harvey Kline ? he lives down there and fixes tracking boxes for us also sells tracking collars .

Yea I know him he lived just down the road from us on the west side didnt he? I think I know the guy in rice lake to but not sure, The markets around here are dead we only have the saw wood market and the mills are only useing there own crews Im moving to missiouri to work on my short wood mill I have had some real interest from the state and found a old lumber yard with about 2 achers and a house for 25,000.00 so we figured we would make the move it would also get us colser to the grand kids to!
BY the way Jason we will not be makeing it to the gathering this year but this was to good of a deal to pass up Lancek

Lancek,
What part of MO are you moving to ? I used to live down there off and on a good part of my life. It is a great place and they have some nice wood. I have a good friend in Bunker MO that can cut more wood than any one I have ever seen. Well good luck down there I hope it works well. Taylor Johnson

Best of luck on that move Lance, sounds exciting. There is great wood in Mo. and some of the cheapest land in the nation. Things are real quiet there from some reports. We almost went there back in the 70’s but found a place in the Blue Ridge and have never left….yet.

My old friend Gary Anderson (I call him “The Foresteader”) sent an email yesterday asking about prices of wood around our area. Basically it is the same experience we are all having everywhere. I have asked him to post the message here since this is a good place to get information from all over the country. I hope he shares his insight and experience with this board, he has taught me more about special forest products, especially mushrooms than anyone. He is as much aware of peak oil and the thinking of how to live without fossil fuel as anyone.
