Today, Noelle, Sierra, Rosie and I grabbed the hand saw and tie down straps and made the drive up to the Nebraska National Forest just south of Chadron. We stopped to use the restroom at Chadron State Park and then headed into the forest just east of the Pine Ridge Job Corps. We followed the road there through mostly grassy areas until we found a nice hillside covered with ponderosa pines of about the right size near to where the Pine Ridge Trail crosses the road. We scoured the hillside there for just the right tree for about 30 minutes
when I spotted her high on a ridge: the perfect tree!
We cut the tree down,
then I dragged it down to the road, got the car and we strapped it to the roof for the drive home.
Along the way we stopped in Alliance for an early dinner.
