where we burned it before. This morning we just had the little stone boat but it took such a small load that dad nailed a couple of boards to it and ww foundwe could put more than twice as much on but when we started y=up the brush caught in the ground and the stone boat pulled out from under it. but dad. got another n=board and put down the middle so there was no sace for the brush to stick in the grund and it went all right. Huby and I wernt up with evey load one on each side with a batjammed into the brush fir a lever to hold it on. We put on big loads and packed them well by taking the long iron bar and putting it accross the top of l=every load every now and then and one got on each end of the bar and bear dwn with all ourmight and eveyr now and then Huby would walk up the load and tramp on it.
