Getting a Christmas Tree the Old Fashioned Way

This Saturday, I drove down to Barrington to hang out with the Scott crew for the day. The goal of the day was to go out and find them a Christmas tree, chop it down, and haul it back to their place. We went out to the forest across the road from their home and drove down an old back road which led to Barrington Lake. There were a bunch of roads branching off this one, which we'd drive down, with the Jeep and trailer. We tromped through the bush and drove around for a couple hours before we finally found a tree that would pass.

Me and the tree. At this point we were all thinking how much easier it would have been to just buy a tree. Oh well! It was a fun time, and one more experience.
