    I will be enroute to (or from) the Black Hills at about that time in Oct. The reason for my journey dictates having a small fleet of saws on board as well. I would be thrilled if srcarr52 showed up with his home brewed mill... cuz I really need a crash course on the whole chainsaw milling thing.

    i just got an alaskan mill myself and wouldn't mind learning more... I have tons of tall trees and wouldn't mind learning or given a tutorial on how to climb! There will be plenty of logs laid out horizontal of course for us all. Campfires the night before or the night of is fine with me... I know we have some possible cedar coming for a milling tutorial...

    I know someone asked what all will be going on...

    Sat morning breakfast and then whatever we want the rest of the day... If I get this together in time I'll need input on what to do during the day. If you have interests all are welcome! This will only be my second GTG... Suggestions are welcome!

    I might have a professionally trained arborist that went to school for quite some time to learn about trees and how to take care of them...

    I plan on going... like I would miss an Iowa GTG. I'll bring the mill and a plethora of saws as usual but I may need some short (18") 2x4's and a couple of flat boards slightly longer than the log to use for the guide for the first cut. I normally use an aluminum ladder section but it takes up valuable chainsaw room in the back of the truck.

    BTW. I love the way cedar smells when I'm milling it... hint... hint!

    About the same for me. I'll still be short on time off work, so it might be a 5 AM green flag, be there by 9-10, and roll back north Sat night.

    Sounds good guys!

    As for the cedar Shaun... Ancy said he might have a good log or two at his place... I'll need to grab his trailer to hual off a couple old trucks before the GTG anyhow... Hual off the old rust trucks and move in the LOGS!!!

    You know if i would have planned this better we could have sync'd up with the fall supper at my country church 3 blks down the gravel road. hmmm... homemade pie, ham balls, chicken and noodles over mashed potatos...

    I hope I can make it, I'd really like to put some faces with some names, run some saws, and figure out what I'm in for when it comes to milling. Thanks for being willing to host.

    Doug! I didn't see you sneak in above me the last time I posted!!!! Sounds like there will be a decent crowd and I hear Mitch, Manly, and Shaun are going to do a build off??? Manly suggested a 345, 350, 2145, 2150 challenge!

    Maybe we need a Double Header since I've heard that nobody finished their 25da's???

    I'll see about making a mini mill to make cants with...

    So, should we set some ground rules for the build off?

    I'm thinking:

    Husky 345, 350 or Jonsered 2145, 2150. So we are excluding their mag case cousins (346, 353, 2152, 2153).

    45mm cylinders with transfer covers only, so no 346 ect. cylinders.
    Use whatever piston you want as long as it's 45mm.
    Stock appearing mufflers, only 2 outlets allowed.
    Original carbs only, modifications are allowed.
    Original air filter no mods allowed.

    Then we just have to decide on the b/c combo and we could get fresh loops for everyone, I'll check on price of chain after we decide on what combo. I vote 16-18" 3/8's 50 gauge. I think we learned at the last fall GTG that a modded 346 cut better with 3/8 than .325.

    Hopefully I can square up a 12-14 inch cant of something mildly soft, or we could be hard on them with a dried out hard maple cant.
    It's getting to where I can't keep track of what I have running and what is in pieces.
