[RandyMac]

Sorry Dave, but it had your name on it.

It was great to see the crew.

Just got home, good fast trip until we got north of Big Lagoon, there were many sudden patches of dense ground fog and sudden dense patches of Elk, a couple times, both at the same time.
I ran saws for about ten minutes, miniature Huskys and some sort of small stihl, good limbing saw.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Randy, glad you made it home safe, and sorry I missed the meet up my friend.

Thank you everybody who made the long drives to the park and shared their expertise, hard work, and fellowship with us. MUCH appreciated!

I am terribly sorry that I could not head out to the park and help out again today. Some family issues came up and kept me here. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and will be back again.

I had my iphone with me most of the time and never took a pic.

Randy I ended up with the hamburger container. Do you need it soon or is the next GTG OK? BTW the burger and buns were fantastic. I had some for breakfast and there was enough left over for dinner for Cody and Amanda.

We had a great time BTW. I know Ranger Sandy was extremely happy. We saved her probably $5,000.00 over what a tree service would have charged. There is MUCH more work to do in the park. Maybe Broc or someone else can set up work days every three months or so and those of us available can sign up and help. I think adopting a park is a good idea. Maybe the idea could be put into play elsewhere in the country. Just don't use AS as a reference.

It was great to see professionals run a saw. Gologit, Randy Mac, slowp, their skills shined through. Everyone I saw running a saw did a great job. And this time I didn't try to "help" Gologit.

But even better than the skills was the conversation. Whenever the saws were off the conversation was uplifting and friendly. Chris took the time to show me his truck, Aaron's knowledge of old magnesium is extensive, Dave showed off his lovely family, HDBill and I talked trucks and saws till he had to leave. Annie is obviously very creative and Randy has more stories, and broken bones, than anyone know. Bob and Clydene (sp?) made me feel at home in a campground and slowp is charming and smart and given an opening downright sassy. Don't mess with her. Just sayin.

Heck, even the dogs were great. TUD was a hoot.

Looking forward to more GTGs.

I forgot to mention beware of TUD's laser vision. There was the proof.
