The last few days here in Aransas Pass TX, have involved cleaning up debris, cutting down fallen trees, fences etc. and starting piles, some end up along the roads, while others are contained to yards in hopes the local authorities will lift or suspend the burn ban that was ironically put in place before the hurricane. The chainsaws have been worked very hard to say the least.
Day One
While most of the team was working Mesquites in the back lot, the rest of us were fighting with a creosoted light pole, that got the better of us this day (sorry no photos of that)…
