Here is the tree as I found it today.
It wasn't this poorly supported when I left yesterday so the heavy winds Fred sent last night must have set it a-rockin'
I was able to easily pull it off the stump .... and plant it in the ground. I tried pulling from the direction where I was standing for the first few pictures. No good, just dug in. Tried pulling it uphill. No good, it crammed up against a large buried root. I tried pulling in the opposite direction of the first try. No good. I called Al. He came over after a bit with his logging winch. Took some mighty pulling to drag the butt through the ground but it came down.
I lied it was only 14" at the base. But it was 60' tall to the broken off top. No idea where that ended up, it was rotted. But the diameter at 60' was still 5".
Some of the smaller wood I had cut to 8' lengths before I called Al. No sense driving back up to the house "empty forked".

Just teasing!
