Clearing the Land of SirJager

In late April 2010 we began clearing our land (53ac) in Elmore County. The land is very unique in that it has hills, pines, hardwoods and several creeks. As far as clearing we pretty much cleared the pines, which were small, off the hill where the house will sit. This was probably 3 acres worth of clearing.
We also cleared the pasture at the bottom of the hill and a narrow strip of  pines east of the other clearing. We left all the hardwoods which are growing around the creek area.
The far east of the property is another hill where we just thinned the pines and cut a few roads.
The clearing took about a week. Charla and I were on hand for much of it around the homesite and bottom pasture. David Woodall also helped out.
We had a logging company clear the land. Not sure how many loads they got, maybe 20 or so but at least I get paid a little for them. ($150 load?). Rodney Griffith, the gentleman, who I purchased the land and an excavator was also on hand.
