Good place to cut firewood

[jr_80]

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on where to head in the West Country to get at some firewood to cut? I usually get a cut permit and head west of water valley, but the terrain is a bit tougher than I can do this year as I am recovering from a September broken ankle that required surgery. I usually embrace the hiking and work and really enjoy the exercise but the leg just can’t do it this year-but the rest of the body can. And of course quad isn’t allowed to drag. Preferably from hiway 1 north to 11. Where I live there’s a beautiful women behind every tree, and I’m down to a couple cords that don’t last me a winter. TIA.

I'd say anywhere out near sibbald on powderface trail. It's the TM66 Area - Elbow River map if you are looking on the forestry site. The gate is closed on the road, but you should be able to find a spot before the gate.

Maybe try giving my buddy Dave at Dave's Tree Care in Didsbury a call.

You can get an entire semi load of Birch logs dropped off at your house for a few hundred bucks. Then all you have to do is buck it up and split it. Way cheaper than hauling it yourself and you won't risk messing up your ankle.

Exactly the price he quotes is from 1971.
