Schedule permitting (Saturdays are usually open) I will be there with a chainsaw.

You know I'll be there if I'm not at work. I would normally just take off but since I just got back to work after being off 3 months recovering from surgery, I'd rather only take off if I have to for the October event.
Even if I do have to work (depending on shift) I'll come by when I get off and help clean up the beer.

Always need help with beer cleanup. |

I've got a little Weber charcoal grill I can bring along if I make it for the whole day. If someone brings stuff to make some burgers we can have us a quick cheap and good lunch.

Today went well. JP and myself dropped about 20 good sized trees. It was hotter than 900 hells out there so we only worked until lunch. When we have a crowd most of our time will be spent limbing out and cutting up the trees we cut and moving trash to the burn pit. I should have a mini X by then to rebuild the dirt berms.

I have a chainsaw good for limbing and bucking as well as taking down trees. I also know what I am doing and can usually drop a tree plus or minus 12 inches of where I want it. I use the 70 degree angle cut and have the tree fall on a hinge instead of 35 to 45 degree notches where one loses control and the weight of the tree can take over instead of the action of the cut.. Trees to drop could be marked for falling as well as any already down could be bucked. Let me know if that works. I will see if I can work being available on a Saturday or Sunday also. |

You don't have to worry about where a tree drops out there. All woods, can't hurt much. JP and myself have felled a tree or two as well. I'll be at the beach this weekend but next week and weekend will be out there. You're welcome to come anytime you want. PM me for more info. |

I have an idea, if it's ok with southern, since I'm so close, and we have already dropped the big trees, how about if anyone is available before the set date one afternoon during the week, I can see about getting together and we could do some bucking and stacking. I figure at this point, any progress is going to be good and help make things easier n the long run

Just give us a few days heads up if you do so us locals can try a little harder to get out there as well. Since you're coming from such a ways, a little extra effort will be made so we can take advantage of the extra help that normally isn't there. Bring yourself a sleeping bag and tent What am I saying, I'm sure you could crash with one of us if you accidentally were to partake in excess of adult beverages.

I spent two and a half hours out at the range yesterday and have gotten 90% of the trees on the ground that need to be. Looks like our work day will only involve trash pickup, cutting the trees into smaller pieces to take to the fire pit, and doing some minor brush clearing. I will probably go back out there in the next week a couple times and get more of it done as time allows.
