    You guys and girls certainly know how to have a good time! Trees, chainsaws, campfire, dogs, firearms, good food, and lots of friends you ticked all the boxes.

    Well Seasoned you have a beautiful place there, and thanks for bringing everyone together. One of these days I will have to come to one of the gtg's. Might have to make it a 2 week vacation to justify the 22-24 hour flight time to make it to your part of the world.

    Thank you Well Seasoned, and your lovely wife, for inviting us all. It was wonderful meeting all those that got to make it and I had a great time! Truck camping is not too bad even when it gets down to 32*. Did find out that a 13" air mattress is just a tad too thick even the back of an Explorer. Glad no one got pictures of me crawling into the sleeping bag with about 16" of head space :D. Was comfy and warm though, so that is what counts. Now for a bunch of pics. Trip up was pretty - been a couple of years since I've been up that way. The mountain on the right in the first picture is the same as the one I went by in the second picture.

    They started cutting pretty early

    How did Backwoods Savage get there? I assume his wife didn't come since I didn't see here in any pics?

    Dennis drove to our house and spent Thursday night. He then drove up to Brian’s GTG. We drove back today and he’s spending the night again. It’s been an awesome weekend.!

    Wow. Super thoughtful post! Awesome. Had fun splitting with you. And don’t feel bad about the pizza; I missed it too! I think it got served while we were splitting wood.

    And I’ll use this opportunity to thank fishingpol for bringing his son. The boys had a blast together!

    And of course a huge thank you to Brian and Dawn! It was great to meet everyone and get to know some of the people we all see on the forum.

    I had a few pics I wanted to attach, but I’m having some technical issues. I’ll try to post them later.
