299.75 feet (I.E. 299 feet, 9 inches). Trust me on this.

I suppose you could round up to 300 feet, but where's the challenge in that?[:D]

BTW, if a woodchuck could chuck wood, it would be able to do 1 cord/hour of split seasoned oak.

I scanned your profile - I"m originally from Roberts north of Idaho Falls. I see you are a student living in Nampa. My oldest daughter went to NNC her freshman and sophomore (that translates as "wise moron" btw) year before transferring to Moscow.
