Bend to Bob's should be well under 3 hours.
I made it to Farleyville before 10:00 this morning but there were several folks ahead of me already. I will foul up some of the names but I will give it my best shot. First up, a little something waiting for Aaron when he finally makes his way north.

Kevin climbed the tree put up a pulley so Bob can hoist a saw for anyone willing to climb for it. T on the ground next to the tree to give you some perspective, Kevin is up there if you look closely.
That's my F150, I am really out here but I didn't photograph any of my saws today to prove it.
Some of the logs just waiting for the saws to fire up.
Bob did receive a really nice new hat today, one that would make President Reagan proud.
I will try to remember and get a few more photos tomorrow when we get the saws going.

So, did anyone actually run a saw at this GTG ???? lol
I think they are still discussing how to get the saw out of the tree without cutting it. Ron
Another roaring success of a GTG! Ain't no party like a Farleyville party 'cause a Farleyville party don't stop!

Success, party, yes it sure was. It was great to meet everyone and special guest & Mac guru Mark. A huge thanks to Bob and his family for having such a wonderful gtg.

They have pics up on the PNW GTG Facebook page.
There were a few cuts made like Nate (madhatte) with a Stihl saw featuring an auto stop feature to prevent cutting too deep into the log...once the flywheel was replaced the saw ran just fine again.
Sheldon's friend John was able to make a couple of cuts as well
Sheldon in the background with what look like an Efco
Fraser (Pac City) put a big Stihl in a log
Bob's son in law T showed us how a real man cuts wood...don't worry Wendell, nothing was exposed.
Don (sawfun) put my SP105 in a log but he wasn't particularly impressed, maybe because of some other saws he had run

Don and his wife Sharon were immediately likeable, McCulloch saws and Oakland Raiders, two of my favorites.
Bigbadbob demonstrating proper safety protocols for Canadians.
Don's friend and chief mechanic Mike likes long bars
Not just everyone can tote that one around
or cut with it
I had to take a slice of redwood myself once Mike helped me adjust the carburetor for the cold, rainy conditions in Oregon
My four footer seems somehow inadequate in these parts.
A few people cut like a girl
