There is a LaQuinta which was OK, but the Fairfield was brand new.  Jakes place is about 15 minutes away. 
YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Be smarter than the sawdust

That's Aramix chainsaw skirt in't it?  Or is it kevlar? Hard to tell. Either way, it is very fetching.

There are hotels a few miles north of Jake's place near the interstate.


Gas and diesel are also available.  Who would have thought that someone could put gasoline into a diesel tank?
Us northerners do that lol...Last week when it was -24 and my backhoe was gelling up (even with kerosene mixture) I dumped some gas in the tank and let it idle ...boy that cleared it right up.  5% saw gas worked good.  Use saw gas so the oil helps the injector pump stay lubed.  But alot of truckers round here when they fill up will dump gas right in with the diesel to prevent gelling it works slicker than [I have typed a profane word that is automatically changed by the forum censored words program I should know better]
Boy, back in my day..

There is room for a few campers. If we start getting several wanting to bring one we might need to coordinate which one goes where. There is several hotels 6 miles from my location. They are at the intersection of I16 and hwy. 441. Hampton Inn, La Quinta, Fairfield  Inn, Motel 6, Super 8 and a few more that are escaping my memory right now.

Looks like the nearest airport is Atlanta? I would need to get a rental car there and if anyone else is flying in, I'd be happy to split the car as the drive is about 2 hrs+. Is there anyplace to fish close to your place?
Any other info I might need to sway me to make a decision to come?

Guys I have taken time off at work with a few days before and after.  I assume we are all invited.  I have been trying to get a place for Gene Wengert  to come and speak.  I will prob. just drive down. Is there anything we need to bring other than our personal protective equipment ect. ,food, computer?  Want to be a contributor, not just a consumer.  
Not sure what the count is, but pencil me in please.

Rob there is a couple of ponds real close to me or the Occone River is a 15 miles away. Lake Sinclare is a hour North and the Atlantic Ocean is a little over 2 hours away. Atlanta airport and Savanna is about the same distance. Some times you can get a cheaper flight into Savanna even if you have to switch planes in Atlanta.
Doc Henderson if you are a member on the forum you are invited. When we get closer to it I will add a list of things folks can bring to help out. I don't like to put the list on to early as it gets buried and difficult for people to find.

doc henderson

Thanks CS.  I have secured the time off from work, but that can occasionally change.  I messaged Doc Gene and he says he will coordinate with you r.e. pdf of materials.

I will have handouts (you can print ahead of time, or you can get at the class...about $3 is my copy9ng cost).

I am thinking that the DH class will start about 8:30 Eastern Daylight Time on Friday.

Looks like my wife and I will be down for the weekend. 

I will be attending Friday and Saturday.

She has mentioned checking out Dublin on Friday so she may only attend Saturday.  And on Saturday, I'm pretty sure she will hang out with the ladies on the porch I guess. 
For some reason she isn't nearly as interested in sawmills as me?  :D

I believe that will make 25 and 26. 

What do most people bring?  Chairs, drinks, food?

As far as what to bring? I am bringing WDH this nice Tennessee crotch walnut log for Jake to slice up. And some of my home made jerky.

At this point, I am thinking that the drying class will begin at 8:30AM.  I have arranged for everyone to get a free copy of Sawmill and Woodlot magazine.  Also, Delmhorst will have some handouts and possibly a real nice door prize.  Also, I think there will be several slightly used moisture meters as prizes.  UC Coatings will have some free samples of B.O.S.S.  And one of our own FF members, Barney67, has volunteered to do all the copying of the handouts as his way of saying "Thanks" for all the info shared here.
