Low hanging tree - Seaway Lane nr Tipton St. John (5254/192-109)
(Preview)
A low hanging tree on this lane. I was on a test ride and didnt have my pruning saw but should be able to take care of the lower branch at least with one. I will try and go back and get it in the future but if anyone else is up that way be aware. -- Edited by wackyracer on Saturday 6th of September 2025 07:14:43 AM
