Southern California GTG

[Bounty Hunter]

Hey CHEVY and Jimmy,

Glad you all got up there and had a good, safe time...Sorry we missed it...but I wasn't sure if it was on after I logged out Friday afternoon. Worse yet, the job on Saturday (that was supposed to take until maybe noon or 2:00pm) kept us working until 8:00pm

Maybe with more lead-in time it would have been easier to plan ahead, but with the gate closures (Grade Valley still Closed) and everyone's busy schedules it's been tough to try to make the GTG work.

I'm still up for a re-schedule (when G.V. opens for woodcutting)...Or we could try later in the fall like last year...and try to work around hunting season.

Sorry I couldnt make it we ended up working on my jet boat all weekend, and finally got it done today. Leaving in 4 days for the lake.
Bounty if you wouldnt mind some company/help I would like to come cut with you anytime I can. I ordered a spark screen for the 394 and another loop of 28" chain for the 372 today. Same goes for you Chev if youre up that way. Thanks guys.

Old thread I know...not sure if I should reply or start new. How many of you SoCal guys are still around? I have the bug and would like to do a gtg.

Hey David B,
Yep, old thread fer sure but there are probably still a few AS members here in Cali that would be up for a GTG.
CHEVYTOWN got himself perma-banned but he still hangs out at SawHawgs. Paso Robles Jimmy is around, and hopefully some new members might be interested as well.
How about it ArboristSite Brothers and Sisters, who's up for a SoCal GTG?

Have a great day and Saw Safe

Hi BH, its good to hear that you are still around.

Even though its a long drive, I've attended the PNW GTG for the last 3 years. Nice bunch of guys with an interesting assortment of saws. Mark Heilman drove out from Iowa with a pickup full of restored McCulloughs for the last 2 years. The Pacific Northwest GTG has a FaceBook page.

That’s where I’m from but I’m at the very bottom of CA now. Maybe I could go visit my dad at the same time.

Hey BH, Good to see you again, Chevytown is also banned from Sawhawgs

Gents, who is a good saw dealer here in SoCal? Someone who knows and loves what they do and will share advice and info? Perhaps there's one here on the forum? Thanks!

 

[PasoRoblesJimmy]

Frazer Park, near the Summit of the Grapevine, is as far south as I ever would want to go. Mar or Apr would be a good time for a SoCal GTG. The desert (i.e., SoCal) gets too hot and dry during the summer.

I’d make that 4 hr trip to hang out with some sawyers. Actually...I have friends I owe a visit in Lopez canyon...and he might have some trees needin’ cuttin’...

 

[davidwyby]

That’s Pismo Beach for those not familiar.

Pismo area is doable for me. I'm about 2.5 hrs north

Near Lopez Lake? I'm located in North SLO County at Lake Nacimiento. Wouldn't mind picking up some firewood..

 

[2dogs]

I'm pretty muchly interested in any location north of Santa Barbara. Is there any good location near Lopez Lake or Pozo or where ever there are problem eucalyptus groves.

 

[davidwyby]

Yes, up in the canyon above the lake.

Chevyclown does not hang with the Hawz, we got standards.

Fairly recently, CalTrans was cutting down eucalyptus (actually Blue Gum) trees on the 101 north of King City. Some of the locals were harvesting firewood from them. I understand that it burns hot with little ash.
