軽トラ並び：薪集まり
千曲川の河川地でニセアカシアの木が定期的に切られて、その薪が「ご自由にどうぞ」で出てくると言う話が良く聞きました。この間、私が初めて取りにいってみました。そうすると、軽トラは30台も並んでいました！信州で薪ストーブをやっている人がこんなに多いか！さっすが長野ですね。
I'd heard that the Acacia trees along the banks of the Chikuma River are cut from time to time to thin them out, and that the wood is made available for free. The other day, I went for the first time to pick some up, and was surprised to see a line of 30 pick-up trucks. There sure are a lot of people in Nagano with wood burning stoves!
