Did cut Flaming 8' Pampas Grass though
And worked on a couple New to me saws
And started to rehab a citizen drop-off
So not too bad, I suppose

Phfffftt. We had bigger flames in the fire pit! Nice saws though.

Except photo is from 1/2 mile away .
Pampas Grass forest fire on marsh across from San Quentin.
1 hr to stop spread, 6 hrs of mop-up
Stubborn, smoldering pains in the A**
We spent most of our time at Robert Louis Stevenson Park helping with some maintenance tasks. Plug these coordinates into Google Maps to see where we were: 38.650151, -122.601982
Here is one of the trees going down.
The camping area:
Where we worked: Mt St Helena
Patty and Trevor admiring the scenery
In the foreground is only some of the oak we cut and split. Many chains died due to embedded nails, cables, ceramic insulators buried in the wood.
A quicksilver mine in the park. We didn't venture beyond the entrance.
I didn't much else in the way of pictures, but some others (ckelp, where are you?) did.

Keep it. You can always use a spare, especially when cutting dead oaks full of nails.

madhatte is the currant holder of the "launch growler". I think it shall become a tradition. if anyone, at any gtg, can beat the record of 11'7" launching a tree off the stump they will get the growler, preferably full of beer, and hold it until the new record is broken.

Thanks Tyler for the hospitality and everyone else for a great get together; awesome country and good times. I lucked out and missed all the hardware in that oak but the full chisel chain I was running went dull quick; will have some semi-chisel on hand next time. Really appreciated the wealth of experience present. Looking forward to the next one.
Another fine time had with you folks. I know my fire people had a blast too. I will gladly defend my title for a growler any day.
Thanks for a great weekend and GTG. I enjoyed working with you and as always I learned some things while I was up there. My friend Glenn had a great time too.
I'm sorry i wasn't able to stay Sunday to help out. Looks like everything went well. I am already looking forward to next year.

The Demon Dog and I just arrived to a cold house. I had a good time and it seemed quite luxurious to be hooked up to running water. I believe the Demon Dog enjoyed it too, but she is very happy to be home. We made a slow trip home up the coast and there were no all night raves to be had and the traffic was pretty polite. I think I leapfrogged past Madhatte in Crescent City. Looked like he pulledover to make a phone call.
We are back in the great mildewed north. I quit wearing shorts yesterday. Thanks for hosting a good time and giving us Warshington people warmth and sun. That can be a rare thing in November. Now to continue unloading.....

Patty I think you left clothes on my back seat. A green Big Dogs fleece.
Yes I did. I realized that about a half hour too late.
Exactly right! I was getting directions to the restaurant where I met Randy and Annie for lunch.
Note that I was most of a day behind due to a scorching hangover that made progress Monday slow and painful. I only made it as far as Eureka, and that took until after dark. Oh well, that's what vacations are for.
Are saying you were hung over from SATURDAY NIGHT? You did drink a little Bulliet rye that night.
