Taking a tree down at Linda's - Memorial Day 2011

Melvin did the fun part...he climbed 40, 50, 300 feet up the tree and cut the sections off, until the last large section. Due to the heat we voted to bring the last (tallest) section down in one piece. It came down right where we wanted it to. By the way, Melvin is about my age and weighs 280 lbs...and it was 90 degrees today. We were all (especially Melvin and Linda) glad when that last section was on the ground.
