Yep, almost two dozen.
A 346 would be great, thank you.

Aaron, my PM storage is clear. I lost track of this thread. What weekend are you working at the park?

I got a few smaller saws I could bring one or two if needed.
260 Pro with a 24"
346XP with a 28"
Echo 4400 with a 24"
Echo 4600 with a 24'
I'll be bringing your saw.
Tomorrow!

10-4 on the condiments. The 200 will be helpful. I can bring my little Poulan S25-CVA. That's the only 'small' runner I have now. Annie is quite welcome to run it. My Super E-Z's are down right now, as is my Poulan Pro 330. If you bring that Craftsman/Poulan I can most likely get it running with 30 minutes work. Can bring an SXL-AO with a 20" bar if you think Annie would run it.
A CS302 is on my list. Don't have one yet. Bruce does however. I'm bringing my PM700 (24"), SP-81 (32"), 272XP (24" and 28"), S25-CVA (16"), and maybe my 7-10A (24"). You and Annie are welcome to run any of them.

Damn, I'd like to make it but I'm about 2,650 miles too far away. Actually more like 3,000, but I subtracted for reasonable travel...
I could bring some Texas pete. A mild hot sauce that will blow the top off anything edible. Especially on fried chicken and in beer mmmmmmmm. Not available on the west coast.....
Have fun yall! Take video! Get drunk!!!

I didn't know about the GTG until last week or I had some vacation time I could have used up. Anyway I'd sure love to see a pic of RandyMac running a 346. Have fun guys and please post pictures for those of us who missed it.
Too bad you didn't arrive before I left. I'd have enjoyed seeing you again AND I had a CS302 with me in case anyone wanted to use a smaller saw (and/or wanted to take it home for what I have in it). I'll think of you guys & gals tomorrow while I'm taking down some DFs around the garden. Be safe!

Talked to Aaron earlier, looks like I wont make it. And I am damned bummed out about it. Wish some of us live closer to each other. Want to meet you all very bad. Have to take care of pruning and thining a tree for Jeannes dad tomorrow. Parmeter and me, and Frank has been asking me for about a year, just have not had the time. Where in Napa is this park? I will be in Ukiah, and with the distance don't think it will work.

I'll bring that big Mac for you to look at Bill. My guess is that you'll be there sometime between 8:30-9:00. When you get in head to the day use area straight past where we had the GTG wood. We oughta be working by then, so you'll spot us easily.
What time are you getting there Chris? I believe the trees we will be tackling first will be towards the end of the day use area. Drive in, then keep going straight and you'll find us. The plan is to get started around 8:00AM or so.
If you get there way before that, then take the first "camping" right after the visitor's center, and head up the hill until you see the bathroom on your right. The folks are camped in the four spaces on the other side of that road from the bathroom. In order going up the hill, first is a white Dodge pickup (2Dogs), next is a silver Toyota Pickup (Gologit), then a red Ford Ranger (SlowP), and finally a sky blue 1968 Falcon wagon (RandyMac). I'm driving a black Ford Ranger (and will be parked in front of Bill's Dodge if we're up at the camp). If you see all these vehicles parked at the visitor's center on the way in, that means we're over in the maintenance area talking with Bruce or Rob.
Sorry I didn't send out PM's earlier. At first this was just going to be a couple guys getting together and swapping saws/parts/BS, and maybe doing a bit of work. As we got closer to the day it started to grow. Keep an eye on this thread for updates about future word days, GTG's, and such.
Right now Gologit and his wife Clydene (hope I spelled that right), 2Dogs, RandyMac and his wife Annie, and SlowP (and the used dog) are camping at the park. When I got there it was already getting too dark for pics. Will be back there early tomorrow.
It's COLD. I headed home after everybody turned in early (because it was DANG COLD). I'm about 45 minutes from the park. Will try to sneak some pics of Randy running something small and foreign. He didn't bring any saws, so he'll be using ours. I wager Randy will be spending most of the time running one of my Macs.
Yep. I got tied up at home (again) and didn't get there until around 4:30. You going to make it back up on Sunday? We'll miss you tomorrow. We can talk about that CS302 later.
Norm it's closer than you think. It's at the extreme NW end of the Napa Valley. About 5 miles south of Calistoga and 7 miles north of St Helena. Right on HWY128. Off of 101, I take Mark West Springs/Porter Creek road until it hits Petrified Forest road, then hang a left and head into Calistoga. Hang a right on 128 and drive south until the park comes up on the right. It's about .5 miles past the "Welcome To Napa Valley" sign.
If you can't make it don't sweat it too much Norm. There will be other work days and GTG's. The 'official' GTG will be on the first weekend of November. Also, there may well be another PNW GTG in Oregon in June. Will keep you posted on that one too.

Pretty sure I cruised the sale unit for that construction a couple of years ago. It's getting to where every sale means more people here. Military gentrification?
ARGGGHH we had that stuff on The Boat and I'm not sure it has been long enough that I could eat it again. Some foods need their "flavor" covered up, and the cover takes the blame...

Yes, you'all have comped spots. Just check in with whoever is on duty and they'll help get you settled.
