    Some pictures from today dropping more trees and dragging more logs out.

    There still more trees to get down and won't be done by the time of the GTG in case anyone wants to put some tree's on the ground.

    Well my life sucks, I have to opt out of the pizza party on Friday night (Scotty Overkill), hopefully Scott will save me a pie.

    A good buddy of mine was diagnosed with cancer less than a month ago and somehow or another he passed away on Friday! His viewing is Friday night, so I will head to the Burgh on Friday, spend the night and head up to see my FHC family early Saturday! Wish I could do the funeral on Saturday, but I will make my peace on Friday! Live for today, because we just don't know!

    So nice to see how everyone here bands together when the chips are down.
    Thanks everyone for making this place what it is.
    Just amazes me that everyone here I have met in person or have interacted with in other ways have been like no other.
    So glad to be a member here.

    In case that you can't find the address for the GTG here it is...... I will be going back Wednesday afternoon to put out the signs helping to giude you to the site. The signs will have "GTG" with arrows pointing the way.
