After 32 years of me cutting trees and brush, and the relentless growth thereof, piles are being hauled off. The material is going into a pit in a neighbor&#8217;s property. The hole is the product of a county road project years ago. In a straight line the location is \u00bd mile away. By road, it is about 1 mile.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Brush-pile-removal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"497\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12181\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Brush-pile-removal.jpg 497w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Brush-pile-removal-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 85vw, 497px\" \/><br \/>\nThe house&#8217;s south side got some attention this week.
