Michigan GTG June 3

[HELSEL]

Hey Rick...How about bumping up the size of the wood to 20" for the bike saws and I'll try to gather up some of the West Coaster's and make a road trip. Even if I can't make it, I'll send a couple of saws for somebody to run.
Any of those bull$hitting Canadian Culls coming? Hahahaha!

Dennis, I talked with Cliff last night and he said he has no problem with bigger would for the bike saws.He said he would make it 20" We have a few Canadians coming as of now.The Ebars are coming they are very good.



Thanx Rick

This should be great! I only live a couple hours to the south. I have seen the Helsels and the Ebars at our local contest, in Newaygo at the logging festival in the fall. I ran my antique saw there long ago when they still ran that class, but the chamber of commerce doesnt have that any more. It was kinda an end of the season showing and we would get a lot of talent from both "the bush" as well as professionals from ESPN and Stihl timber sports showing up. Very laid back and the guys seemed to be a lot more mellowed out than at the major competitions.

How bout camping? I should have my camper back to gether by then and would just make a weekend out of it with the family. leaving them at the local camp ground at night to talk with the fellas at night of course!

Oh yeah, Go Rangers! My SIL and BIL were teachers there for a couple years.

I'm guessing it will be okay for some average Joe's to show up with saws too. I doubt I'll be in the competitions, because all my saws are not only 'stock appearing', but in fact stock! Do you plan to have any large logs (over 25") just for demonstration? I was thinking it would be nice to have one anyway to run some big bars into, like the 42" on my 1-76. If you like, I may be able to haul one in approx 30" dia. 10' long that the sawmill didn't want to take.
