    Lack of cell service prevented me from posting this earlier.


    3rd load finished before lunch break. 3633C64F-C9D1-4354-8066-851A3098702E.jpeg



    Much thanks to Joe, Scott and the site owners, plus everyone that brought food.
    It was great meeting new faces.

    There were more people here throughout the weekend, but nobody thought to stop for a group photo until Saturday night, and many had already split (;)) by that point

    One last thing, from me. When the topic of bananas came up and I mentioned PA is famous for bananas, 30,000lbs to exact I wasn’t kidding.
    I didnt just get off a space ship with Timothy Leary :)
    Had to queue it up while heading back past Scranton. True story. Enjoy.

    What a fantastic weekend it was! I apologize for no updates as the service waay back in "the holler" wasn't too good. Joe and I, as well as Rick and all the guys at the sportsman's club are all super appreciative and in awe of the work that took place there. All in the name of fun! We had a blast running saws, climbing and felling some troublesome trees, eating great food, sharing fun stories and bonding of rhe brother/sisterhood of all that is FHC and OPE while getting around 12-13 full cord of wood cut, split, and almost all stacked up in the woodshed! The Sportsmen club was absolutely amazed with what got done, and I think they're anxious for us to do it again!

    Many thanks to all who visited with us, worked their tails off, donated food, donated to the raffle, ate and enjoyed the fellowship with us. We dedicated the festivities to the memory of Kenis DexterDay and his family, with a dinnertime prayer offered up by walt.

    Thank you all again from our families to yours! We certainly hope to make it bigger and better for next year!

    I would like to thank everyone for coming to our GTG! It was a total success and they would love to have us back again next year.

    As Scotty said we did get alot of wood processed.
    10 1/2 cords are stacked in the shed.

    SBK1980 brought some of his beautiful hand forged knives which he sold 7 of them at the GTG. One as I said he donated to the raffle which John Wargo of Pittsburgh was the lucky winner.
    The food was awesome as always and ate way too much as always but had a great time!
    I'd like to thank everyone who helped out and donated to the raffle. We raised $490 which I returned to the club for allowing us to have the GTG at that beautiful place! The fellowship and workmanship was top notch.

    eatonpcat the peppeoni rolls that your wife made were outstanding.

    The club said that if we do this yearly they are going to be building another shed for wood.

    Always great to hang out with yinz guys, Mike! Thanks again for coming. And thanks for the delicious kielbasa bread! That 038 you built for Duane(Pa) was impressive, as always.
