Eastern PA GTG

oscar4883 · Oct 23, 2010

Anybody from NEPA or North Jersey want to hook up for a GTG? Seems like we are getting quite a few members in the NEPA area. In the chainsaw and firewood forums at least. Starting to be real nice weather out for running saws. If anyone is interested shoot me a pm or reply here. Would be nice to meet some other members.
Thanks
John

sounds great but probably too far for me. where were you thinkin of havin this at so i can see what my travel time would be?

i need a GTG in northern west virginia, eastern ohio or western pennsylvania! if i had property i'd host one gladly.

chopperfreak-I am in 18354. Pocono area, not far from the Nascar track in Long Pond. These GTG's seem like a good time so I'm just trying to keep the thought alive.

I would be interested. I'm just to your south about 25 miles Jim Thorpe area. Dozer Dan did a great woods port for me that needs some trigger time...

Cool. I am right off of Rt. 33 by Schochs Harley Davidson if you are familiar. Doing a takedown of a good sized beech this week. May have to haul some of the bigger stuff home for a GTG.

give me a bit of notice and i can make an appearance.

saws to bring, for to run:
stihl s10
dolmar 7900
stihl custom 020avp super
poulan sleeper (if finished)
magical mystery project saw (nearly complete)

i can bring a few more complete saws and odds and ends if'n anyone wants to do a mini swapmeet.

edit:
i'll leave the saws home and ride the bike up if anyone wants to ride too while in town..............

spike60 · Oct 26, 2010

Pretty much any date I can work with. Seems as if there is alot of interest so maybe in a few weeks?

beowulf67 · Oct 26, 2010

Curious as to a date also......I am just south of Princeton and about 1 1/2 hours from Allentown, PA. Got some friends up in the Lake Nockamixon area (Quakertown). Beautiful this time of year.

Nov 13/14 or 20/21?

beowulf67 · Oct 26, 2010

Either would be ok with me, although it will more than likely be a Sun., 1 day show for me. Could also bring some extra logs, if need be.

The Hawk's Nest on Route 97. It is a very popular motorcycle road, lots of turns as it overlooks the Delaware River. I have ridden it many, many times. There used to be a restaurant overlooking the River called the Hawk's Nest but it burned down a couple years back. It was very popular spot with the motorcycle crowd.
