Fixed that for ya!
Ok, so here is the deal... I have a new house we are closing on September 12th, and we have a ton of work to do in the mean time... I don't know if I'll have time for rounding up door prizes, and hauling in logs, etc etc etc... The new property is 12.4 acres and solid woods almost. We could have a "medium" size GTG if you all want to log some timber and clear brush for me? LOLHonestly if there are a few guys that want to help cut some trees and the rest want to eat and sit around the fire pit that is 100% fine with me. I think we had been toying with the idea of having a trades only GTG... How does this sound...
Iowa Fall - Swap Meet GTG, September 27-28, 2013 ???
Address would be: 8590 143rd Ave, Indianola, IA 50125
We'd be short parking and log cutting space just like the last place but plenty of room for a good fire pit and place to cook and gather for a swap meet. I might have enough pasture space to mow for parking out on the edge of the timber too. Here's a map of the new place. House is in the SW corner, and a 3-sided shed with power in the middle of the property... The wife agreed tentatively since I presented as getting some help cutting a few trees out. Depending on how nice the neighbors are we might be able to ask to use some of the pasture (not occupied or fenced in currently).
That's only about three hours from where I'm headed. I prolly won't be finished moving myself, but I could prolly piece together another saw out of the scrap heap so I'll have a noisemaker at least. Gotta check with the boss and make sure no other plans have been made for me yet, lol.

The date is pliable if people have a better weekend. I know we are moving into the new house and have plenty of work to do so if people want to come we can change the date. I know Mike is busy all of October but that is just one man (sorry mike...). Or maybe we just need to meet here and car pool to KY!

I can fit another person in my car for Kentucky. Saw room is somewhat limited as I drive a Ford Focus.
People are talking about the Southern GTG on October 19th and riding together, and it seems as though I suggested 9/28 for the Iowa Fall GTG and the Kentucky GTG is on the same weekend.
Southern GTG 9/28
Kentucky GTG 10/19
Iowa GTG ???????????

Well that makes it even more confusing as Homelite 410 said 10/19 thus I figured 10/19 he is hosting a Iowa GTG. Then you said 9/28. Then someone says that is KY heck it is all too damm confusing.
What is the Southern GTG and the KY GTG? Are there links to them that do not go on and on
Steve NW WI started this thread a while ago to minimize confusion, but it is not used as well as it should be:

I just transposed some dates but this is the correct dates. If you read the sentances before my date list I had them correct then too. Mike is not holding an Iowa Fall GTG we are trying to determine a place and date that works for people. I correct an old post of his where he suggested I should have one and otherwise they are talking about going to other GTG's besides an Iowa Fall GTG....
Readers Digest version....
IOWA FALL GTG is To Be Determined right now!

We can't stop here, this is bat country.
So are you offering to hold it at your new property? If so when it the pre GTG GTG going to be? Probably going to need a lot of help setting up space for all of us hooligans.
we close on 9/12 if all goes well so pre GTG.... September 20-21?
Lets be clear on one thing though... I'm aiming for some racing, bonfire, and swap meet GTG... I'm not thinking of hauling in 20 logs and blowing up the one small flat area I have down by the shed. That being said I do have some leaning widow maker logs that would probably prove challenging for us to cut out/down. I just thought with all the other GTG's going on maybe it's just easier to bring one runner for a race and the rest of the junk you don't want to trade off for something you do want...

Hello Philbert,
That thread was a great idea but it appears it was never utilized fully. The last post was many months back. Hopefully someone will come along and clear up the confusion in dates and links to what they are referencing. There have been references to Jasper Ar, Southern, Kentucky, and Iowa with no links to where the info is.

But it's so hard to pick just one. All the rest just stare at you like a fat kid who you just denied cake.
Jasper = Southern (same thing) date listed above
Kentucky's date is listed above
Iowa's Fall GTG - is yet to be determined but my new place is a possibility for October 5th or October 12th. I'm assuming it will be more of a swap meet, BSing party, with some race cants involved. If someone has the ability to throw a Iowa Fall GTG together more power to them!
bring one 50-70cc work saw that you can use most of the day with a 18-24inch bar.... There... 70% of your fat kids can stare at me for cutting them out on cake. :msp_biggrin:
