    Went and watched the Paul Bunyon lumberjack show today. Entertaining show. Everything here is kinda' pricey, but it wasn't bad. Hot saw, climbing, axe throwing, and a number of other things. All in all entertaining.

    Using 290's, 441's, and modified 056's I believe with hotsaw mufflers. Chains were all freshly sharpened and all wood cut was some kind of softwood obviously.

    You bet I do. I have to wait till I get home Wednesday. Then, I'll upload. I thought I took video of them scaling the pole and the misery whip saw competition. Watching those guys gives y0u major envy. I wish I were that good at things like that.

    These guys are in pretty good shape. I really like watching the log rolling and the chopping competitions.

    Note the hot rod saw in the background. Very loud!

    Yup, the ducks are one of those things you have to do with the kids when there. You could check out Devil's Lake for some nice hiking and swimming. It's about 15 minutes south on 12 in Baraboo. You could check out the Ringling Brothers museum and some shows during the summer too.
