Welcome aboard uplander.

You sawing what I call upland white cedar? That's where our bigger cedar grow in my neck of the woods. In the gullies and lower slopes of hardwood ridges. I was just ribbing, since your neighbor is into red cedar. ;D

No Swampdonkey, I call myself Uplander because I live work and saw
on the crawford upland region of Indiana. It is also where the majority
of caves that I have explored are located at in Indiana.
Yep, thats right. I am one of those cavers!

uplander · January 23, 2008, 02:44:43 PM

Welcome Uplander,

I am richard's son who operates the oklahoma division. I guess it is too late to warn you about him.

SwampDonkey · January 23, 2008, 04:32:32 PM

I'm a Crawford by the way. Hmm Crawford upland. Hope they aren't too elevated, could go to their heads. ;) ;D

Welcome Uplander. If you've been lookin' in for that long, you're fair game for fun pokin'.

Welcome to you too, Okmulch. I'm glad you finally decided to join in.

Hello Uplander.
I live in Unionville, have a sawmill and a few other toys. I used to haunt the caves back in the '70s when the caves were still fairly pristine. Don't think I would fit in some of them now :D
Send me a PM and tell me a bit about yourself. Being so close together we should not be strangers

flip · January 24, 2008, 09:58:32 AM

Are you in Crawford county? If'n so, where at?

uplander · January 24, 2008, 11:38:52 AM

Okmulch; We met at the nss convention last summer. Not sure if you remember,
you were pretty busy.

Jv; I am working on the pic thing and will try to get some up of my projects soon.

Onewithwood; I have thought about trying to meet with you. I get over to Unionville every once in awhile.

Flip; I live in monroe county. The Crawford upland extends from the ohio river all the way up to morgan county. Its a geology thing. I work at our states geological survey.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
Uplander

My main gig is in Bloomington so I am there during the week. Is your mill in Bloomington or just outside of it, or somewhere else in the county?

okmulch · January 24, 2008, 05:18:42 PM

Uplander

you met my younger brother Ian at the NSS convention. I haven't lived in Indiana since graduating college in 98. then went and built a cedar saw mill in Alabama and now have been living in Oklahoma for a little over three years grinding cedar trees.

maybe we will meet someday.

Cedarman · January 25, 2008, 06:13:54 AM

OWW, there are still pristine caves. It is just that you and I can't fit through those smallish holes anymore. Our group just found about 150 of virgin cave just south of Corydon wednesday evening. You had to crawl in water for about 20 ' through an 8" high passage to get to walking cave. It ended with a big rock blocking a 4' high passage. Need a little quick acting chemistry to get through. (I was busy Wed eve and didn't have time to make the trip). Just heard the trip report.

Welcome uplander. These sawdust types are just as much fun as cavers. They may talk food a little more though. How is your mill doing on this frozen wood? I hate frozen cedar.
