Howdy Bob.
I'm buzy settling in at the new place, but Nate and Trevor stopped by on the way by. I'm in Fort Jones now.

Also slow recovery from a broken femur with a rod and screws in my left leg. Happened end of January when I missed the bottom step when descending a step ladder.

Bummer. Healthy recovery to ya

That's a good place to be. I always liked that part of the state. Where did Aron wind up?

 

[RandyMac]

Aaron moved to Frozen Blowhole, Wyoming.

Aaron moved to Frozen Blowhole, Wyoming.

People actually move to Wyoming voluntarily? I spent a couple of weeks in GreyBull a few years back. Not much timber.

We had a blast! Let’s get more people out here next year.

Late fire season and weather killing it for me, glad all went well

But got to do some Rx understory burning
Out on the West Marin coast between Wind events and Red Flag weather

It was great to meet some of the gang...been several years since I’ve had a chance to get to this and had a bad back so couldn’t be of much help this time.

Looks like I am a little late for this year but I am interested in joining the next get together.

Bruce knows far more about the park than I do. Don't know if there's any OG left. There are OG stumps. Currently, it's mostly Oaks, Madrones, Doug Firs, with a mix of others. We cut up a good sized root pulled maple there a couple months ago.

I have a length of Disston 3/4" pitch chisel chain that was found in the park long ago. It's quite rusty. Going to carefully clean it. Looks like it was sharp, with lots of life left in it when it was discarded. Matches this Acres listing. Would be FANTASTIC if someone can bring a running DA211A to demonstrate (and be filmed) in the park.

Chain Saw Chain

Interesting. I have a Mall 6 and a Titan E that need chains. 3/4 by 074.

Bumping this thread because it's that time of year again -- it's a different kind of GTG this time because of hazards created by the fire that just rolled through, and COVID precautions. PM me for info, I'll get you steered in the right direction. Rest assured we're gonna be doing some interesting cutting.

Have you heard from Tyler? I've been trying to find out how he is doing. I gather the flames made it to the park but the major structures were protected. I doubt the yurts fared so well if the fire made it to their "neighborhood."
If the park was hit anything like the Preserve in 2017, there are enough hazard trees to keep several GTG crews busy for far more than one weekend.

Ok cool! I’m back on AS! It’s been awhile.

Sounds like you made it through safe and sound - I certainly hope so. What are the conditions at the park? I heard the buildings were saved but don't know it for a fact and haven't heard anything about the rest of the park. What about the Grist Mill? Give a shout if you want an extra pair of hands at any point. It's the rare day that I can't pop up there.
