It's getting to be that time of year again where we need to think about where & when we're going to get our Christmas Tree!!
This has proven to be a fun trip where a bunch of us to get together and go Christmas tree shopping...in the woods. I remember as a kid riding in the back of my parents Jeep, we'd go bird hunting up North and come back with a tree. My mom would always find a great looking tree...usually the top 10 feet of a 30 tree...
One difference this year will be the fact that we'll be visiting a local Christmas Tree farm in Rangeley to help support the locals. Also plan on lunch in Rangeley as well. History has shown that all that attend appreciate this, as we get to sit around a big table, feast, converse, and enjoy everybody's company
For your comfort and safety, this free ride is limited to only 10 trucks (not including Chris & I). This is a first come, first serve ride. If' you're definitely going, just post up saying so! If you're not sure yet, you're not on the list til you're 100% positive. Thanks for understanding
