That's gonna be fun. I'm gonna have to bring the truck just to get up the driveway. :hmm3grin2orange:

They don't know from one to the other how warm its going to be. Might as well read the Almanac.

 

[promac850]

Well guys, I don't think I'll make it. Got too much crap going on around here.

 

[Cheese Whiz]

Hey Wetgunpowder - it's almost spring. Clean that frickin filthy inbox of yours!

 

[8433jeff]

Post the coordinates please, or just the address. Raffle? Collection for 880 and Quinn?

Map link and coordinates

Here is a link to where I live. We will leave here around 8:00 am and somebody can lead out another group around 9:00.

This is where the morning cutting and dropping will be at. we will have something to mark the trail. Pickups can drive right in on the trail. Cars might have to park on oeltjen and walk in just west and north of the trail entrance. The trail goes north and then loops back west and south almost back to oeltjen road.

coordinates 45.664155,-92.825468

We should be back or heading back to my place about noon.

Breakfast at T-Dawgs or will you all have your fill of the place Fri evening? What time do they open?

 

[HEAVY FUEL]

We'll be at Grandpatractors most of Friday night for the safety meeting & setting stuff up. I just mentioned T-Dawgs cuz we had breakfast there back on Feb 19th and man was it good. So were the drinks in the afternoon. Don't worry WI50, those white russians were just as good as they were last year. If anyone is in the area Saturday morning looking for breakfast they open at 8 & the Kozy kitchen opens at 7

OK, so it looks like the cutting area is south-west from your place. About how far is it in time or distance.

Thanks.

Here is what I found on mapquest. Doesn't look very far. About 20 minutes.

[Dan_IN_MN]

I'm coming

JD

I'm coming. Bringing along Christopher and possibly BJ.

OH....I'm planning on taking a more direct rout this time!

 

[grandpatractor]

From my place to where we will cut is about 15 min or so. 12 miles.Head west on County road O and turn south on Johnson road to Oeltjen. Johnson isn't marked real well so just remember to take a left when CTH 0 does some sweeping curves.
We usually start a "little" warming fire while we are out there.
Cars may be able to drive all the way in, depending on how much the snow settles.
I pull the 5th wheel trailer most of the way in and run the dumptruck all the way back as far as the pickups go.

 

[HEAVY FUEL]

Must be "Marty Nelson gone bellistic" I thought you could only drive green tractors.

Roll Call

How many guys that are attending on Saturday will be around to cut on Sunday? JD and I figured we could get more wood to Denny by hauling over a load of logs instead of cutting and splitting it at the GTG. I have gotten 7 or 8 guys lined up for Sunday that will not be attending the GTG. :msp_thumbup:
