[lovetheoutdoors]

sounds good to me!!

 

[JT78]

I will be there and will bring some poplar with me I can get some oak too if yall want. But I cant bring anything really big.

 

[2000ssm6]

I got a 12" log of oak and a 24" but can't load the 24", LOL.

I might put a sweetgum on the trailer also, is that the same type of wood as popular?

 

[JT78]

No poplar is a lot softer than sweetgum my saws fly through poplar.

To be held on 18 April. Not that close to East Tenn., Lanny. It's about the middle of the state in Asheboro, NC just south of Greensboro off 220 S about 20 min. or so. It's at an equipment store called Amick's. They used to be a sponsor on here. You can google for more info including the address & phone.

Amick's Superstore
1611 N. Fayetteville St.
Asheboro, N.C. 27203

Hey Guys,
That date will work for me as far as I know right now. In an early post I said I could bring some logs. Someone that knows what we need let me know, the pile is shrinking, I just need to know what kind and how many. If need be I'll hit the woods and find some. Still have some big oaks but I don't know what ya'll want. 12' is about all my old truck will handle.

Also bringing my son and trying to talk a few more into coming along. Looking forward to it.

im sure any logs will help...brian ( 2000ss) can tell you more.

 

[2000ssm6]

A few logs would be nice if ya could bring some. I have no way of loading a big one now since the 'hoe is gone. I'll have one hard oak about 12" in diameter, 6ft long, may can get more and will if possible.

Maybe a few ~24" logs for the big bars. I think someone mentioned bringing a few poplar logs, the race chain guys will need these, if anyone has race chain. Really depends on how many show but that is hard to predict. We will have fun either way.

Is Amick's the John Deere place in Asheboro? I might see if I can make it, If I do I'll be the fat guy.....

 

[67 Mustang]

No Amick's doesn't sell JD. That's about all they don't sell. They handle most major brands of saws and commercial landscaping equipment like zero turn radius mowers, etc. They have Stihl, Husky, Dolmar, Redmax and Exmark just to name a few. If you go to their site, you can see most of what they have.

Thanks for that JT. Please also note that the map shows that as BR220
for "Business Route" and that the actual address is 1611 N. Fayetteville, St., Asheboro, NC. The easiest access if you're coming either way on Interstate 73/74 is to take the Vision Dr. exit.

 

[XJWoody]

Amick's is on the north end of Asheboro

If you are coming on 220 from points north or south, it's the Vision Drive exit. Follow it to the first light (Bus 220) and take a left. Amick's is one block north of Vision Drive.

Come E up the hill off the interstate, turn left at the light, look for the OPE shop on the left.

Calvin, I use to drive a truck for a while and that is the best route even with the towns and stoplights, I always hated coming to you part of the woods, nothing against your town but I hated the ride back.
