From the Dubuque Crew

Dubuque's bluff terrain, winter ice, heavy snow, and strong storms make sloped-lot trees especially unpredictable. In Dubuque, the fallen trees that turn out riskiest to cut aren't always the biggest ones -- it's the ones caught at an angle against a fence or another tree, holding tension we have to release carefully.
