When I FIND some, Max! Haven't seen any at all yet, just cactus and
occitillo...

The 4x4 group says that there's a "ton" of iron wood laying around in the
mountains... sure hope so because they're talking about charging duty on
the
logs that I'm bringing down!

======================

Mac,
Check regulations down there regarding harvesting of desert ironwood. In
some areas the living ironwood is a protected species. Local turners are
limited to downed timber to do their tourists goodies. There's a pretty
hefty fine for being caught with fresh cut ironwood.

Everything is protected there, we're in a preserve kind of area.... that's why I
mentioned the ironwood "laying around"... you're not allowed to cut ANYTHING,
including cactus and such...

They even have to transplant any desert vegetation that will be disturbed when
they build a house, so if it isn't dead on the ground, you don't pick it up and
drag it to the shop.. *g*
