Honestly, I'm calling it more of a controlled descent.I don't see any pictures of you falling in, so it must not have happen![]()
I was cutting loose one of the larger branches and felt the trunk start to roll. I knew I could: stay put and hope for the best; jump and land on my feet, chainsaw above water. I chose humiliation and a dry chain saw. Besides, I was by myself (I know, risky) so all anyone saw was some wet, dirty shoes and jeans.
The water level is several feet below normal, so even sinking 6 inches into the mud, my belt was still dry.
