Hey Bibby ,

Dugsaws and I made it back. It was a little muddy but that didn't dampen the want to buy alot of things.I took some pics but haven't had the time to get them posted yet . I will get them on tomorrow.  We got to meet Sawmill John and  Don Cadwell at the Mobile Dimension booth. I talked to the guysat the Wooodmizer booth but can't remember their names. The LT-70 with Cat power was awesome. I wouldn't want to  be    a tailman if the operator got serious about sawin wood.  I got action pics ofthat mill and the Mobile Dimension.

Great pictures John.

WV,  where are your pictures?

Don Cadwell is standing behind them talking to someone else . John and Don were great to talk to . They even tried to talk me into a sweet heart of a deal for that mill .

I'm with you Bibby, with the shoot-out moved and all that e-q-u-i-p-m-e-n-t, I hope to be there ;D ;D

Yep, can't miss this one. Kiwi Jake mentioned in another thread that he thought he would be there for Peterson. I gotta see one of those swingers up close. I mean the Peterson, not Jake. :D

Looks like a great opportunity to set up some kind of meeting place like we did at the Wood-Mizer 20'th anniversary party year before last. (How time flies!)

Could be the one place where all the major Forestry Forum sponsors have an exhibit.  Good time to toast them.  Maybe get them all together for a group picture.

hi guys,

just a quick question (nb. i'm an australian who's never been to the US before).

Wheres the show in relationship to say LA (or where i would fly in from aust.)?

Jeff

Its a LOOOONG ways from L.A.  Almost clear across the country. You probably can recognize the location of the great lakes on a U.S. map?  Just east of most of the lakes and south.

You could fly into BOSTON and hitch a ride with me and the ASM (16-17hours :-/)

I am not sure of Jake's travel plans yet....

2004 Show is coming up!

Does anyone have information on camping at or near the show site?  I know there is a state park about 20 miles away but was hoping there might be something closer where some of the forum members stay.

Any information would be appreciated.

Yes, I need that info. I am planning on skipping logging congress and coming down for the Paul Bunyan show. Probably be tenting it. Trying to get Chet to come along. :)

When we were there a bunch of years back,  there were bunches and bunches of people camping right there at the show.  You had to park about a mile from the show grounds and walk past the campers to get to the gate.   I don't know how you reserve a place there.  Maybe it tells something on the web site.???

I could not find anything on the web site, maybe I did not know where to look.  I thought maybe someone here had camped there before and could tell us who to contact concerning reservations.

Check with Mtnjack I know he has been camping there for a few years, he might know that info

beenthere,  that looks like the same link to the Ohio Forestry info that's posted on the first post of this topic.

Here is a link to some camping info on the Hocking College web site - but I don't think it's the camping I seen when at Paul Bunyon back in 01.

Sure right you are. I read all the posts back to last year, and didn't see anything, so searched (and posted).
Musta been the champagne.

Sorry for the duplicate. But seemed people were asking, so I looked around.  :)

Jeffb,dewood,
      I have camped at the Baul Bunyan Show for the last 15-18 years .I have been saving MNT. Jack a place for the last 3 years.My friends say Jack is my "internet date".  
     I could save some more sites (it's first come first served) if someone wanted me to.We usually go to PB  on wed. or thursday. We can talk more about it as the time gets nearer. PB officals were talking about not having camping this year ,but I think that was because of the shootout that was to be there.  Tom

Mary and I sure are planning to attend this year.  BUT we've said we were going to make it back the last two years also and something has came up.

One thing to consider about attending this show... Pepair for mud in case it rains!

The show is held out in a hay field below the college.  There is very little paved parking and it goes fast in the morning.  The main parking area is in other hay fields about a mile from the show area.  

I think there is another option of parking in town and taking the train over to the show area.  I think it ran about every half-hour.
