I made it to Farleyville before 10:00 this morning but there were several folks ahead of me already. I will foul up some of the names but I will give it my best shot. First up, a little something waiting for Aaron when he finally makes his way north.

Kevin climbed the tree put up a pulley so Bob can hoist a saw for anyone willing to climb for it. T on the ground next to the tree to give you some perspective, Kevin is up there if you look closely.

That's my F150, I am really out here but I didn't photograph any of my saws today to prove it.

Some of the logs just waiting for the saws to fire up.

Bob did receive a really nice new hat today, one that would make President Reagan proud.

I will try to remember and get a few more photos tomorrow when we get the saws going.

Thanks mark for the update and the pictures. I hope the weather cooperates out there.
 
Not going to be able to make it this year but sure hope you all are having fun :)
 
There were a few cuts made like Nate (madhatte) with a Stihl saw featuring an auto stop feature to prevent cutting too deep into the log...once the flywheel was replaced the saw ran just fine again.

Sheldon's friend John was able to make a couple of cuts as well

Bob's son in law T showed us how a real man cuts wood...don't worry Wendell, nothing was exposed.

Don (sawfun) put my SP105 in a log but he wasn't particularly impressed, maybe because of some other saws he had run

Don and his wife Sharon were immediately likeable, McCulloch saws and Oakland Raiders, two of my favorites.

Not just everyone can tote that one around

or cut with it

I had to take a slice of redwood myself once Mike helped me adjust the carburetor for the cold, rainy conditions in Oregon

My four footer seems somehow inadequate in these parts.
