Pacific NW get together

[Jacob J.]

I'll go, if I'm not on fires by then (I might be Hotshotting next season). I'll be bringing muh McCullochs.

 

[Gologit]

There is some planning in the works. Hoping for about the same time, around the first part of May or so. It maybe alittle SW of Bookers though.

Info will be occasional until things get closer.


Owl

Sounds good. If you need any help just let me know.

When you get tired of looking at cows azzes, come up and look at some trees.

gladly

when i get a few more hamiltons and rain gear and corks, i'm gone

 

[Oldsawnut]

I never go to cougar unless its from woodland anymore. Awsome drive on the back/east side though.

 

[Spotted Owl]

Some time in May is great. I'd like to see a date set, so we can all plan for it.

(SW of Bookerdog's place? Oregon?)

Yahooo!

Jon

Yup Oregon. Dates may be hard to put down. We still had about 6" of snow at our place on that weekend last year. That may make it rough if there are any campers.

You have a place in mind Owl?

Ya, I was think'in about a small town called Willamina (timber town). About 40or so min west of Salem and about 20 min or so east of Lincoln City.


Info will probably be sparatic at best for a bit. My boy has elk tags commin up. Life around here comes to a screech'in halt when there are elk to be killed. Early planning now, and then around late Feb early March things will really start to get movin. Hopefully that will give us time to better guess the weather for dates and give folks an month or two to plan if the can attend.

It isn't gonna be a spread like Bookerdog had goin, no spare house and the wood will probably be set up a little different. You can camp in a pasture or down by the creek, I suggest upwind or away from the pigs, hotels are about the same distance or closer, and the casino is about a 10 min drive and they have a hotel also. If interested there are several churches around for visitors.

We'll probably have a couple cow azzes to look at if anyone gets home sick, goats, pigs and chickens also. What you do with them in the dark is your own thing. If you get caught though what happens at a PNW GTG doesn't stay at a PNW GTG. It spreads like wild fire sometimes with photographic evidence too.

First up is anyone afraid of dogs? We have a couple fairly good sized dogs(Bernards) that just kinda roam around. They haven't bitten anyone yet, but they are trained to make alot of noise when strangers come around. Once the Mrs. or me are out with you they calm down quickly and get used to people fast.

If you have questions, ask, suggestions, speak up, ideas/thoughts/wonders, toss'em up here. The more talk the better.

I'll attempt to come. I'd prefer it not to be the first weekend of May though.
Maybe that is good because I'd have gone to a kayak thing and tried out the spendy one and then my whining would be refreshed....and so on. There was a lot going on that weekend.

 

[Ironbark]

Depends if they are as big as Bookerdog's dog!

I've got some time off in May and would really like to come out again. I was looking at going up to Alaska, but I really did enjoy climbing some of the Cascade Volcanoes and I have a score to settle with Mt Rainier!

If you have it on the first weekend in May I doubt I'd be able to make it, but after that I'll have a real good go at making it.

Better start saving now. With the pound at only 1.47 USD, that trip to Madsens is going to be REALLY expensive

 

[Turbocaster]

Last year was very unusual relative to snow levels. I bet that this coming May will have great weather.

Willamina is only about 40 or 50 miles away from me. This is the greatest news I've heard all week.

[mile9socounty]

Willamina

Looks about the same size as Myrtle Creek. Shouldn't be too hard to navigate. Count me in. I'll make the bosses understand that I need the time off. I as well an off of the I-5 corridor, so I might be able to give someone a lift.

 

[Trinity Honoria]

Wow! You mean i might get to smell the smoke again?

Hey y'all!!!
If i hadn't had a phone call with one of my favorite logger people , i wouldn't have known about this in-the-planning GTGs!!! Count me in... and i won't be camping... i'll be hotel-ing it... and i endorse the advice of 'camping upwind from the pigs...'

i'll keep looking back to stay on top of the date...

right now-- been snow bound for 4 days... well, ice bound as my car can help me leave, but the tires or whatever just don't do well on the snow coming back... sigh...

Hope all of you are having a phenomenal holiday season!!!

:hmm3grin2orange: We're looking for an 090 for you to run next time. Running my ancient 066 was just a warm-up...now we're gonna make you work.

One of my friends here offered to send his old homelite which apparently has a 4 foot bar on it. You might want to try it out if we can get it started. I think it might not have a compression release button. I'm trying to save some huckleberries for a pie. I can supplement it with an apple pie or two.

If you can bring that saw I'd be happy to watch somebody run it. Just thinking about those old monsters makes my back ache and my fingers go numb. And pies? Any kind will do.

And RR2's barbecue, Cedarkerf's beans, Wood4Heat's home made ice cream. Saws? What saws?

Here at the "group home," one of the other inmates is BEGGING for me to make Cedarkerf's beans again... BEGGING. i smile sweetly, and say, "someday." i love the beans, but am getting some mileage out of the teasing...

I'll probably manage to get my act together enough to bring food this time and not simply be a mooch...

but if i'm not hearing the roar of the saws and smelling the smoke, it won't quite be 'right'-- and Bob, if i remember right, you did spend more time playing with saws then eating... so you're just blowing smoke here :greenchainsaw:

LOL...Okay I'm busted. But I was just doing my share to make sure no groceries went to waste. I bugged Slowp so much to bring huckleberry pie that I had to eat three pieces of it so I wouldn't hurt her feelings. That's my story and I'm not changing it. :greenchainsaw:

Man if you were in Portland right now you might have to eat those words!

 

[Turbocaster]

I'll bring some more Costco boneless chicken thighs and chicken breasts in hopes that RiverRat 2 will come up to cook them. Any word from RR2 about attending the next Pacific NW GTG?

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again. We need to set a date as soon as possible to make sure everyone can lock it into their calendar.
