Goodwill Roadtrip/Sawing - Success

[Magicman]

   Orange could indicate that da Wood-Mizers are a coming, but this is not a WM event.  This is a Forestry Forum event, and what an event it is and will be.   

The pledges not received bumped up to $810 today.

Use blue than. :  Or red,or yellow,or green. Don't matter the color,just would make it easier to find.

Is this your gate?

Do we have any sign makers aboard the forum?
Just wondering if any of our talented membership could kick out a sign with the Forestry Forum Logo that could be placed at the end of the driveway.

                                                                                          WADAYA THINK??

I'll gladly mail the sign Raider had made for our redwood log sawing in 2007.
Would need to overlook the line that says Wisconsin Chapter, but otherwise would be glad to share.

The sign hangs to the left of this crew of redwood sawyers using the Peterson mill.

Yes, that is my gate..........kinda creepy that people can do that......

Anyway, now there is a mailbox on the left side of the picture that says, 3303. 

Looking forward to meeting everyone

.kinda creepy that people can do that.

Agree, and I'll remove it if you would like me too. Or at least can do after the event.  ;)

Google and google map gives off entirely too much info IMO. Thought in this case those arriving might appreciate it.

If you want me to mail the sign, PM me an address and I'll get it out. Should fit in a tube less than 3' long.

I'm going to see about a sign locally.  It would cost about the same to make one as it would to mail that one.  Let me see what I can do and get back to you if I do end up needing that one. 

Don't worry about the google map image.  I have my position on the map in my profile.  Anyone can pull that up. 

thanks

I looked on Google and saw a building that it looked like was being built. The rafters show. One laying out to the side. Is this your place Austin? bg

Jeff may have some ideas what he wants or can help with for the sign making. Expect he has the final say as to using the FF logo and you can work that out with him. And you likely have good ideas as well.  8)

Yes, that is the place that burned.  The RV was parked on the east side of the building.  You can also see my little Kubota parked out front.  About 25 yards away to the east you can see the little triangle trusses laying in the grass.  If I went back and looked at my pictures, I could tell you when the sat. pic was taken.  Also, something funny.....I had just gotten the tractor and I was just trying out the brush hog all over the property.  I mowed a little around the build site and then just sort of took off.  You can see all the wavy trails I made!

Thanks. Now I know what to look for. 353 miles according to google to your place from mine. Already made reservations at the motel you listed. See you later. bg

Reservation made at Weston Inn. It appears my best/fastest route is Hwy 69 South from I20/Tyler. I plan to be on site by mid afternoon on Dec 8th. Should be about 8 1/2 hrs. Looking forward to meeting Forum members I have not met before.

You guys are amazing.  There will have to be a person with the sole job of taking pictures. ;D

I am working in the deep south:D( just northeast of San Diego "Brawley Ca." it's near the Arizona/California line and close to Mexico) , I may be able to get away for a about a week during the event schedule, Flying is no doubt the best option along with a rental car. It's always good to see if anyone else from this general area is heading that way and would like to split the fuel or work out any kind of a deal?. I am able to meet up at any relatively close point of departure and share expenses or use my rig if needed. Let me know if any of you has a similar trip planned to the goodwill roadtrip/sawing event and we can hook up or meet and share expenses. I'm at this point not absolutely sure of my schedule and wanted to check with the group to see if any one is driving to the event and willing to share expenses.

In that condition I would have tried to write my name in the 5' tall weeds.   A plus would have been not minding all the sneezing.   I hope it never gets that high again!

How about this for a banner.

18" x 54"



 

What does everyone think of that.  I haven't ordered it yet.  I can still make changes.

   We are looking forward to getting this Roadtrip underway.

I ran the numbers concerning bringing the RV vs lodging at a motel and it was a wash.  Our plans now are to stay at the Weston Inn where Bill & Willie will be staying.

[dablack]

That makes it even easier.  I had it in my list of things to do to check that 30amp RV hook up.  It was about 40 ft from the fire.......  I turned that whole panel off.  One less thing to do. 

Also, there is only so much room at the top of that hill.  Without the RV there, we should have plenty of room to saw and stack.  I'm thinking of picking up some used pallets to stack the wood on.  Good plan?
