Nope, no sawmill demo.

Thanks guys for the great photos and the info that was added. bg

Raider Bill · August 08, 2011, 10:24:17 AM

That wasn't lemon aid in that bottle. Meadows Miller never heard of Margaritas before

He has now!!!! ;D ;D 8) 8) I didn't want to send him back down under without sampling a national treasure.

Once again it was a GREAT time! Jeff and Burlcraft introduced me to Jay's Sporting goods store! 5 acres of guns thousands of guns! They even have a complete collection of Winchester's , fishing, hunting, camping, Army surplus including deuce and a half's, jeeps, gen-sets big I mean big tents............ oh man this place is something else.

Food, What can you say...... It doesn't get any better than the Pig Roast food! I would point out the blueberry desert, roasted pig, beans, Logrite Tammy's brownies, Ice cream, everything was DELISH!!! DELISH I tell you!!! 8)

Seeing Members I've met before and meeting Great new Friends what can I say!

A few observations,

WDH [Danny] No matter how much he tries to play the I'm just a dumb uncultured, County Boy is one of the smartest Guys you will ever meet. The Man know Trees.....

One with Wood, [Robert] and Dang are the same person minus the natty light and cigarette :D

Magicman is not camera shy,

Magic Woman has a beautiful twinkle in her eyes.

Pigman is a bit shy but you can get him to talk if you work at it a bit :D

Mark your calenders for next year folks!

Meadows Miller · August 08, 2011, 01:04:53 PM

Gday

I had an AWESOME Time meeting you all only wish we had more time I could have spent days talking to each off you

;D ;D 8) it was great to get to a pig roast finally this might have to become a yearly trip ;) ;D

Regards Chris

This is so true

I think only one of them was raised on grits

Must have been a Pigman imposter there this year. ;D

Raider Bill · August 08, 2011, 05:15:21 PM

One little piggy went to the smoker!

Danny and CedarMan telling fish stories ;D

Burlcraft and Magicman

Some of the door prizes!

You make the call here ;) ;D

...... Is it OneWithWood, Dang or a extra terrestrial combination? I dunno.....

beenthere · August 08, 2011, 05:24:32 PM

What?? Must a been a tough year.

Reddog · August 08, 2011, 05:51:01 PM

I stopped by Sun morning and harassed the few that where left.

Burlkraft, thanks for meeting up for breakfast. Good to catch up some.

MeadowMillers it was good to meet you.
Nice seeing Jeff, RaiderBill, OWW and Pigman also.

DanG · August 08, 2011, 06:29:48 PM

OWW and I are the same person. He is the left half and I am always right. ;D

Jeff · August 08, 2011, 07:07:00 PM

That borders on brilliance. :D

In more ways that one! :D :D :D :D

It sure does Jeff!!!

wood monger · August 08, 2011, 07:58:35 PM

This was my first FF Pig roast, hopefully the first of many. It was great to meet so many forumites, to be able to put a face to a handle. I got there kinda late as I had to work saturday, but I still met many people. I am very glad that I decided to make the drive up there. When I first got there I saw OWW sitting on the porch, at first I thought it was DanG. I remember going to ask someone if it was him. Jeff took me over and introduced me to MM, OWW, WDH, Piney woods and I think Pigman, so I knew it wasn't DanG. Jeff and Tammy did a fantastic job setting things up and keeping things going. A big thanks to them. The best thing besides meeting everyone was the great stories, WDH told a few as did Meadows Miller. Heard a few from Cedarman, Raider Bill ( yes I heard the goose story), MagicMan,Furby, and Dan Shade. I'm sure I heard many more Just can't remember all the names. Thanks again to Jeff and Tammy. Thanks to all of you who shared a story or just an introduction, in getting to know you. Bill

WDH · August 08, 2011, 09:17:03 PM

W. Monger,

It was great to meet you. Unfortunately, you came after I had my fit of picture taking so I did not get you on film. Missed Furby too, but Magicman captured him nicely.

When I looked across the yard and saw that person with the long beard, I first thought it was DanG, but I knew that my friend was not able to make it. Then, I thought it must be an alien impersonating him. But then, I realized that Swamp Donkey was not going to be there too, so that pretty much eliminated the alien angle. Turned out it was a retired Robert.

pineywoods · August 09, 2011, 10:00:16 PM

Bushed !! 2 full 12 hour days of driving to get home from the pig roast. It was definitely worth it. Jeff and Tammy are super hosts, even to the point of cobbling up an imprompto birthday party for Mrs piney. Thanks again. Stopped at a truck stop near St Louis and watched the fuel pump roll up to $241, OUCH. The RV is unloaded, but everything is in a pile on the dinning table. Pics and video will follow when I dig the cameras out of the pile.

JV · August 09, 2011, 10:13:22 PM

RE: OWW - The problem with turning those IU guys loose without a conservative acclimation course is that they can go feral. :D

Dan_Shade · August 09, 2011, 10:22:52 PM

We missed you, JV!

JV · August 09, 2011, 10:51:36 PM

Dan,

We really wanted to come. Looks like everyone had a great time as always. I've been fighting back issues since December and didn't think I could make the drive. Next year one way or another.
;)

WDH · August 10, 2011, 07:35:05 AM

JV,

I missed seeing you as well. I trust that Copper is doing good.

Magicman · August 10, 2011, 09:48:55 PM

Since the Pig Roast Pat and I have been taking day trips and seeing some of the sights of Northern Michigan. Monday was the Traverse City area in Northwestern Michigan. Yesterday was Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island. Today was the Eastern tip of the UP.

This afternoon we had a very nice visit with Jeff at the cabin.

WDH · August 10, 2011, 09:58:34 PM

Watch out, there is bars in them woods.

isawlogs · August 10, 2011, 10:00:59 PM

If dem bars don't get ya, there's dat hand bitting tree ta look out fur.

Jeff · August 10, 2011, 10:04:17 PM

I figured I was looking more haggard then I do after 5 hours of brush hogging trails.

Thanks for taking the time to come visit. I enjoyed it.

After you left I got my birthday present out and went down to my property and cleared some deadfalls from some of my trails. While sawing I had a birch top crash down about 40 yards from me in the wind. I decided then and there to take the rest of the day off as it was 7:00 PM anyhow. :D
