    What a great time. I've been sitting on the porch a bit this afternoon looking at all the work ahead. The ringing in my ears will take a day or two to go away, but it was more than worth it.

    Great company
    Great fun
    Great weather

    What could be better than that.

    Thanks to every one for making it another great year. Here's to the next .


    Mrs. has a request. She would like if possible, if you have photos could you e-mail them to us. She would like photo memories aswell.


    Thanks to everyone

    I have come away from both GTGs with something new to try out. Today, I tried out the Cedarkerf Method for dispatching alders---a deeper undercut. It worked!
    Thanks to everybody!

    oops, repost from other thread

    I had the greatest time, when I get caught up, I'll carry on about it. I did meet a group of the finest people on earth.

    I left a trail of chips all the way home, I don't know why.




    I'm still playing with my pics, although I can't beat most of what is posted already.

    I'm completely gratefull to all involved, Spotted Owl and wonderful spouse went a long ways to make everyone welcome and comfortable. I stood campfire watch, untill maybe 3am, it is soo very quiet there.
    Meeting you-all was great, the excellent conversations, playing with new chainsaws, watching the work go on, things I will remember.

    ....Brief intermission, FedEx is here.

    It seems that I now own a Stihl.

    So many people contributed in so many ways. The guys setting things up in the morning, Scott and Sara for hosting the guys willing to share their saws so people could try running different saws, the people who contributed food and beverages and I'm sure others Ive missed but thank you to all.
