    We're having a GTG for chainsaw enthusiasts in Pike County, Georgia on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2014. Zip is 30206. Equidistant between Atlanta, Columbus and Macon.
    This will be held rain or shine as covered area is available in case of rain.
    Wood has been collected, food is being planned and it should be a chance to meet some people you only know from the forums.
    The main conduit for information is on the Arboristsite chainsaw forum under a thread titled "Do we need to have a Georgia GTG. The first post on that thread will contain vital info.

    Nice to see a GTG that I could make...I'm north of Atlanta in Woodstock...my firm has done events in Griffin..and on top of that its my birthday on the 20th. That being said, its a tough time to get away, work wise. I will really try to, but won't know my schedule till Labor Day or so.

    Same weekend as Field Day of the Past in Richmond, VA where I have been participating the past 20 years. I usually bring out about 30 saws to display.

    I used to live about 3 miles from GumSpring and still have property up in Louisa near Orchid. I have not been to Somerset since Bill Roberts died, but used to go every year.

    Definitely take lots and lots of pics :)

    Clem, this should be in you back yard. He says he goes to Atlanta for work. So it can't be super far.

    Ok, the time is nearing and we've started making a list of attendees. The thread on Arboristsite named "Do we need to have a Georgia gathering?" is where the list is of attendees and stuff to bring. If you can't sign up there, pm me and I'll add you on.
    Location is 30206 Near Zebulon/Concord Georgia. Ya'll come. Rain or shine (covered area available for socializing and cutting.)
    Let me know if you're interested in Glider rides so I can make arrangements.

    I'm on a 21 day vacation right now, not going back until the 16th - I'd be hard pressed to work out more time off.
    If you have another GTG be sure to post here, I'd like to make one
