Nor Cal & North SF Bay GTG (November 11-14, 2022)

[Eccentric]

it more around 13-15...
i wish it could be more like the PNW GTG..

Dave that's 13 responses so far. Many of those folks will have family with them. I wasn't smart enough to have "how many people are coming with you?" as one of the questions I had people answer.....:bang:

Tomorrow I'll PM those folks thas PM'd me and ask them to give me the expected numbers for their groups...

Also remember that this is our first year. Lots of 'growing room' for the future...

It is really early to figure out what the road conditions will be, what the gas prices will be, has the meteor hit yet, etc.

November is a fickle month up here, weatherwise. Siskiyou Pass can be evil to drive over, as can that section between Yreka and Shasta. We can go down 101, but that can be blocked with slides and flooding.
The road to my house can be a problem, if it snows. The drive down my road when it is slick, has a heart stopping section of sliding sometimes. Such is life with an outsloping road.

The PNW gatherings have been pretty laid back. No schedules, folks show up and camp, some folks just show up for a few hours, some sleep in nettle patches, etc.

should we be expecting you driving a D9 to the GTG?:msp_scared:

Aaron,
Do persons with more than one (multiple) personalities count as more than one person?

"Shut up! You're so stupid for asking that question."
"No, I'm not stupid, and I hate when you say that. Get out of my head!"
"Well that's just great, now they're going to know about us."

Questions ???

Hey guys, would like to know if I can park my stock trailer at or near the sawing area and leave it at night as I'll be staying at a motel. Do we have much WOOD,LOGS,STICKS,STUMPS or old furniture to cut ? I know everything is a work in progress but if some one can let everyone know how much cuttin will be done that would help. All I've heard so far is we should be able to drag a log down for the cookie cutters. There's been lots of talk about food,videos,camping and such all good stuff but I for one would like to see everyones different types,styles,sizes,colors and modding of saws,maybe run a few(alot).I can eat and do most of the other stuff at home. A GTG is the only place to see,run and talk saws,I'm really looking forward to that and meeting all the AS members. (and trying some of slowp's cookies)

As a side note this is not a closed GTG it's open to the public and if it's advertised locally as was said earlier there is the possibility of some low lifes coming in from the city for some easy pickin's LOCK it up ! Don't want to see anyone loose a saw Ken

Trailer's not to big, 16' pull type, just don't want to have a spot one day and not the next, it locks up good so that helps. Thanks Ken

That reminds me............tommorow when I'm at the park I need to seed a nettle patch for your to break trail through. Gotta make you feel at home Randy..:jester:

 

[RandyMac]

You are too kind my friend.

 

[Eccentric]

Once more bringing this up for folks to see.......

OK Folks.

Roll Call!

We're getting down to the wire, and need to get a better idea of who's going to be at the event, and what their 'needs' are. Post up in the thread whether you're coming to the event, and PLEASE send me a Private Message (PM) me with answers to the following questions. If my PM box is full, please PM Ckelp............assuming he's cleared out HIS PM space. If that don't work...............PM BrocLuno....

1)What's your "real" name?

2)Are you going to be running saws (whether your saws or those that belong to others)? I'm guessing most folks will be answering "yes" to that one...

3)Are you going to be bringing saw/logging related stuff for the swap meet area?

4)Will you be camping on site (instead of staying elsewhere)? If so, what nights will you be staying? Friday night, Saturday night, or both?

5)If yes to #4......what type of camping will you be doing (tent, trailer, RV)..........and if using a trailer or RV what's the size of said trailer or RV?

6)Again if yes to #4, how many vehicles will you have with you? FYI-additonal NON towing/towed vehicles (not a dingee towed behind your RV or the vehicle pulling your trailer) require an additional $8 fee.

7)If tent camping, are you going to want your own space, or would you like to pitch your tent in the 'group area'?

8)How many people are you bringing with you.................and will they be running saws?

Here's the new and improved questionaire..................with added question (#8)!!!!

 

[Gologit]

Two people. 1 saw person, one not.

10-4 Bob. I'll update your info. That's one person I don't need to PM back....

 

[slowp]

I have 1.5 and he has no thumbs so he can't run a saw.

 

[mile9socounty]

Just one and I'll be running saw. Bringing a few too. Yall said you wanted some blackberries to plant down there right?

No!!!!!! Those damn things are spreading everywhere at my place. At least the berries are usually good to eat. Don't bring 'em. We'll notify the CHP about somebody running illicit agricultural products accross the border if you do.....
