Traverse City is a nice area kk, changed a lot since the 70's, built up a lot and a very busy area in the summer.

Saw the Budweiser horses there in 74 .
It was pretty touristy then .
Beautiful area.

"Doh, son of a......"  Put the emergency wood in the shed with all your shovels, spare snowblower and snowshoes again eh Kenny.

10- 4 PLAN AHEAD!!!!

kk I am between Rudyard and Trout Lake in Michigan's upper peninsula. I paid 55 per face cord for the seasoned wood that was cut at 22" and 120 per cord for the hard maple delivered. A lot of the mills here are buying anything they can get their hands on driving the price up and firewood is still hard to come by here due to last years hard winter and not being able to get in the woods to cut. Lots of firewood below the Mackinac bridge at cheaper prices, but we cannot transport it across the bridge due to the ash borer. The ash trees are dead or dying here already so not sure how this ban helps??

The ban is ridiculous, the stupid beatles fly anyways, they will spread regardless, at best the ban might slow em down. The state park across the wood only allows "approved firewood" in the park, like that is going to keep em from flying from my side of the road into the park.

because of the beetles firewood/ camp wood can't cross state lines.. But for some reasons wood headed to the mills ect seem to be exempt..don't get it

[U.P. Doug]

You are right MattyNH. I had to go downstate and there was 4 or 5 trucks crossing north heading for the mills, and they pass my house every day I also found a few guys that cut about an hour south of the Mackinac bridge that can and will deliver cord wood up here. But let me load a few cord in my trailer and watch what happens...

You guys make me laugh, but I also share in not having cut enough wood this year, I always marvel at those that prepare better.

The wood backup pictures are improving my thought process on where to store wood.
