Rigging...if anybody is bringing stuff to sell I'm looking for a couple of small snatch blocks or an open top side-set sheave. Anything that will run 1/2, 3/8, or 7/16 line will work.

We got the wood, not sure if this oak would be good for a maul but I've made some ax, froe and hatchets out of it. I'll have some rough blanks ready if you want to make it yourself.

Hopefully I'll remember to charge the thing. Haven't done anything with the footage we shot last year. I'm not that computer savvy......

If I can get rolling early enough on Friday morning I'll swing by Charlie's ranch for some learning.

That's ok, at least we still have the footage. Alia has some good video and pics from last year too. Maybe we can combine them and burn last year and this years all together on one cd. We can use Bruce's office here at the park.
Hope that works out! See you soon, one way or the other.

What time are you folks meeting up at the ranch? Will I need a combo for the gate? Looking forward to seeing you again.
Dunno. We'll be at the park Thursday afternoon. I told Charlie we'd call him then and decide on the details for Friday. I was thinking going fairly early...not logger early....on Friday morning. Slowp and Kevin will be there too.

It is looking like it is possible that I will be able to make it before noon Friday, if the pass is favorable, and I stay on I-5 on the way down and instead drive 101 on the way back. This is the current plan. Also, I'm bringing my younger brother. He's not one to pass up a road trip.
ya found some old shake blocks and made some shingles jest to try it. i will bring my draw knife and some axe heads

I moved the chipper and bucket truck so we have a little more room down there. Aaron, I put a new ignition switch in the truck because we somehow lost the key.... Then I drove it for a bit and it stalled then wouldn't start, the batt died (its trickle charging now). Don't know if you want to mess with it this weekend or not, either way is fine. I'll try to get it going later today and keep you posted

I'll take a look at it while I'm there this weekend Tyler.
I have a dtape and cruising and scaling books. Do not have a clinometer or relaskop. Not sure if fingers are still calibrated properly or not.
Got pie stuff and bacon.

That's right! We were talking last year about teaching basic measurements. Hopefully I can remember to grab my vest because all of those tools are in it.

Looks good for me to make it this year. I'll be in Friday midday. Still trying to get HD Bill to commit, we'll see.
