Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get a load of firewood? I would prefer free or really cheap....lol

 

I see quite a few ads in the newspaper, but I think that to find free firewood, you might find a few ads on the bulliten boards in the grocery store.

 

If your looking for it free the best way I know is (if you have an axe) go to a place with alot of trees and cut your own

 

I was thinking about that but it would still be to green to burn. At least to burn easily. I don't mind paying for a load but sometimes people just have old trees that they want chopped up and hauled away.

 

Steve if ya give me a few days i may be able to find where some trees are to be cut and ill let ya know. I know ive been cutting mine wherever our job site is thats cutting them down. Ive gotten hedge,walnut,oak and a few others but i have been burning it all!! Ill let ya know in a few days where its at, if we have any!!

I have a few trees that has started to come down here at my house, my bother in law and I got most of one down. They are elms, and I'd sure love someone to come and haul them off for me. And I would even give you something to drink and some food too...

Unfortunatly, I live in Kinsley...

Thanks Though

It's inbetween Spearville and Lewis.

Or it's exactly inbetween New York and San Fransico.

Founded: 1873
Elevation: 2170 feet
ZIP code: 67547
Area Code: 620
Population: 1875 (1990)

Kinsley is the county seat of Edwards [ED] County. It calls itself the "Midway City" because, according to the sign in the roadside park, it's 1561 miles from both New York and San Francisco. During the thirties, the cover on one issue of the Saturday Evening Post featured this sign. The town is located near the junction of Coon Creek and the Arkansas River. The river south of here could be jumped by a moderately athletic person.
Downtown Kinsley is really compact with narrow streets. The main street, Sixth Street where the Carnival Mall is, is one-way. City Hall, near downtown is fairly new. South of downtown along highway 183, there is a large city park and fairgrounds. Along East Seventh Street there are many large older homes.

Kinsley has both a country club (south of town) and a trap club (at the airport).

The stone and yellow brick Edwards County Courthouse has a neat little decorative balcony over the front doors. It's well away from downtown at 3rd & Massachusetts; you have to cross the tracks and US-56.
There is a roadside park in Kinsley where US-50 and 56 join. It has the Edwards County museum, AT&SF steam locomotive #3424, an old church, and a sod house. The church used to be at Centerview south of Lewis. The park also has a red stone DAR marker about the Santa Fe trail, picnic tables, playground equipment, and public rest rooms.
The train station at Kinsley is not used anymore but it is a baroque confection of stone and brick that surely was once a source of great local pride.
The Palace Theatre on Sixth Street is still in business.
Local artists Bruce White, woodcarver, [659-2514] and John Winter, glassblower, [659-2225] will demonstrate their crafts.
East of Kinsley on US 50, there is a historical marker describing the battle of Coon Creek. When you stop, notice the unusual little hills around. They look like little sand dunes covered with grass.
History
Kinsley is on the Santa Fe trail near where it divides into the "Wet" and "Dry" routes. The army fought a battle against Indians near here at the 1848 batle of Coon Creek to protect this route. The soldiers used "new-fangled" breechloading rifles to defeat the attacking Indians; this seems to be the first use of breechloaders in combat by United States troops.
The town was founded by emigrants from Massachusetts in 1873; they named it for E. W. Kinsley of Boston. Edwards County is named for W. C. Edwards, who built a block of brick buildings in early downtown Kinsley.

It's the only town of any size between Hutchinson and Dodge City along HWY 50. About two hours drive or so from Wichita.

Firewood you say? I cut all the time and it is not uncommon for me to fill 16 foot trailers with firewood for - free! You will need to split it though. I don't mind splitting it but there is a limit to my time.

'Course a little bit of adult beverage helps make it go better.

Ash, and hackberry are common. Walnut and Oak are available. Hedge is plentiful.

Any day I can start up my Stihls and cut down some trees is a great day!
