Oh Christmas Tree.....

Went on our annual "Cut a Xmas Tree Event. Left at 9 a.m. Took the truck 4 wheeling up to the Forestry Department that is in the middle of nowhere in the woods. Got our permit and drove even further into the mountains, Found the perfect tree and the chainsaw wouldn't work. Drove another 40 miles to the nearest lil mountain town and overpaid for a bowsaw. Drove another 15 miles up north almost to Mt. Lassen til we found another perfect tree and chopped it to its death. Drove back thru the mountains and finally got home at 5:30 p.m.
Cost of permit $10, cost of gas $50, cost of Bowsaw $20 cost of lunch and snacks and sodas $35. Cost of tree at a tree lot $25!!
Well I know where I'm getting my tree next year.......


Heres a pic of our trip, see the unknowing look on Randys face, notice the ginormous snowball in my left hand, muahahah
