Logs stacked for next years splitting ...

I stacked a bunch of wood at the bottom of the driveway to help it dry and get it ready for the 2012 splitting season.  It looks like a big stack, so I'm not sure if this is all with the maul, or a rented splitter will be involved for the difficult ones.  

Notice the log on the lower right.  I picked up and found a really large black salamander with bright yellow spots already hibernating under it, so I carefully put the log back and will check again in the late spring.
