Christmas Tree Permit
Anyone know how to get a permit to cut your own Christmas Tree? Anyone ever done it? Costs? I am likely too late, but damn that would be a cool family Bronco activity.

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
You gonna put it on the soft top? Might end up with a sun roof you didn't want.

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
Not too late. Check the National Forest near you. Did it two years ago and may do it again this year. Here's a flyer. http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOC ... 337492.pdfRob

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
I was thinking of tying it to my rear tire carrier, but I may just go in our SUV. Thanks for the link and info! Good to know I am not too late.

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
We do this every year. Its great fun but it can take a long time to actually find a descent tree. Just prepare to be looking for a few hours.

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
Did it every year growing up. I think we bought one tree off a lot, but that was in TX where there aren't a lot of evergreens...
Pretty inexpensive and something very cool to do as a family!

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
The prime weekend dates were sold out a few weeks ago, but there are lots of week days still open. I noticed a few permits on Craigslist with people trying to make their $ back. I am sure that up-selling the permit would have some serious consequences. This really would be fun family activity.

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
Sold out? Times have changed. But I never went Christmas Tree hunting around Denver either. It was always in SOCO and there were never dates on when you can go...

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
Now it's all making sense. The fender flares. The saws-all. The Christmas tree hunt. Chads planning to drive his Bronco off-pavement!

Re: Christmas Tree Permit
My Bronco will get cut someday! The Calendar pics showed me how much fun you guys have without me. BTW - I have a permit for Friday and will likely be taking the wife's SUV since it has a heater :)
Next year, I should have the heater done in the Bronco and will take it.
Thanks for all of the help guys - should be fun Griswold Christmas!
