[QUOTE="Mort, post: 224128, member: 361"] Alittle story about firewood, memories from growing up, always fun. Prior to moving out to Great Falls, MT back in the middle 70's, we didn't have a fireplace. Folks purchased a house in Great Falls, that had a fireplace. I believe back in the day, you could purchase a permit to cut wood up in the mountains, but only cut "downed" dead trees, which was fine, because there were plenty around. So as a teenager, I was involved in getting firewood prior to winter arriving. We would team up with the neighbors and make a trip to the hills and bring a trailer full of logs back, then just cut them up in the back yard. It was all pine. So this was my first experience of smelling pine on an open fire. Something about the smell of pine on an open fire on a wintery day makes me all relax. We don't have any real pine around here, so when I do get a whiff of it, reminds me of my days in MT as a teenager. [/QUOTE]
