    Default Cheap Wood From State Park

    My hubby is out this morning getting wood for our stove. He's gone to a state park nearby. A couple of years ago he got 2 regular pickup sized loads for $15. Can't wait to see how he does. Today it is going up into the 60's so the stove is off. I cleaned my oven this morning and that has helped to take the chill out of the house.

    Have you looked into getting a wood permit from BLM? Can get any amount of wood for a $10 permit, good for a year.

    Might be somethign to consider as well.

    What does BLM stand for? And how do I go about contacting them?

    Bureau of Land Management. Look in the government pages of your phone book, I believe its federal gov't.

    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,

    end of the world is evidently approaching.”

    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.


    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference
