And then all the people went away leaving us with the barren expanse once again. Now it was time to figure out how to move our big heart to neighboring ranch where it could be stored. The Hyster forklift had no trouble moving it slowly back to center camp, but then we needed to secure it on a truck for the twenty mile journey. Thanks to Snook and Tex for helping us get it safely to a winter home. It was quite a sight to see this thing rolling down the road with a plume of wood ash trailing behind. A few cars that had been traveling in the other direction actually pulled their cars over to take pictures and marvel at the absurdity.

Here it is at home with Zack's Rock, Dan's Faces, and Pepe's Lingam and Yoni Gate. Some of the gang from DPW loaded Hearth with wood out at the ranch and burned it for Thanksgiving 2000. They sent us this photo and well... it warmed our hearts.
