Bobby gets orders to back to track 421 pine site; a tropical storm rolls through, making the conditions difficult to work.
After being plagued by bad weather and one breakdown after another, the crew hopes to regain some ground and finally take advantage of the prime timber on the Hillburn tract. But mechanical nightmares and mill restrictions continue to set them back.
Bobby and his crew continue to battle disappointing load counts on the Hilburn tract. A truck shortage, bad weather and giant trees hinder progress and then dissention flares amongst the crew. Bobby employs new tactics to try to gain the upper hand.
Mill quotas hamper efforts while preparing to move to a new tract and Bobby is admitted to the hospital.
The crew falls behind and a hurricane threatens the swamp while Bobby and Justin are out of town.
