Bumping this thread because it's that time of year again -- it's a different kind of GTG this time because of hazards created by the fire that just rolled through, and COVID precautions. PM me for info, I'll get you steered in the right direction. Rest assured we're gonna be doing some interesting cutting.
How bad a hit did the park take? Looked pretty bad on the fire maps.
 
Maybe all the P-Oak was burned up this time :))
Sadly, even if it did all burn, the reduced canopy will likely result in a taller, more obnoxious, "crop." That's what we're seeing at the Preserve. Discouraging, to say the least. My sympathies to the hyper-sensitive folks out there.
 
We have been able to get the Ranger at Bothe-Napa Valley Park to give us a weekend for a possible GTG. We are the Park Forest Practices Group (volunteers) and we have the first weekend in November -> 3 & 4, 2012.

The Park has 50 camp sites, 4 walk-in sites (short walk), 40 or so that will accommodate a small to medium motor home or trailer, some overflow camping in Day Use that will accommodate bigger motor homes, a group camp area, and day use pic-nic areas (where we will have our activities).

We need to start organizing this, so if there are folks who are interested attending; please contact Eccentric, CKelp, or me and we'll start to assemble the agenda. The Park will be off the commercial reservation system by then, so we'll be coordinating reservations with staff. We need lead time.

We'd sure like to get some of the Nor-Cal loggers who worked the Redwoods and big Doug Firs before logging went bust in Cali. Since this is the first GTG held here, we'll have to work out the wrinkles this time and make plans for next year based on who shows and what you'all want to do?

We're hoping this is the First Annual Bothe GTG ... Chime in if you want to attend :)

I plan to be there. I think I have a FB account (as Charles Schwing) but use it rarely.
