Pinion Pine Trip
Here are some pics of the trip I took with my buddy George and his wife Debbie.
We dug six trees all together. George went for quality and spent his time on two exceptional trees. I went for quantity and got four trees. A couple of them are fairly good trees, and the other two are for practice and sentimental reasons.
In most cases we were digging in rock. We had permission from two land owners in the area, and were allowed to chip away at the rock. Since it is fairly brittle and gives way to chisels, it wasn't as impossible as you might think.
There were some amazing trees, however, that were impossible to collect, because the roots went straight down, probably twenty feet or more.
