    Walt can’t sign in to post, but we are working on it…. He has asked me to pass the message of his gratitude for all that came out and had a hand in this GTG to make it a success. The amount of splits is truly a blessing. I am truly blessed to be associated with a great bunch and guys and gals. Thank you all.

    Thanks to Walt and family, had a good time with my FHC brothers and sisters. Good to shake a few new hands as well and see some that I had already met. Great time, good food and productive day. Blessed !!!!

    On one hand it looks like everyone had a lot of fun and ate some amazing food. On the other, I see the split stacks growing and growing and growing. Y'all processed an amazing amount of wood for a get together! Thanks for sharing all those pictures, I had fun just following along!

    Thanks to Walt and his whole family for all the work that goes into hosting this!
    I don't know that anyone tried to measure the piles after we were done, but in studying the pictures, estimating height and width, then using a pyramid volume calculator, there is very conservatively 25 cords there...I'm saying it could easily be more like 30 too.
    Good seeing and working with y'all again too :handshake:

    Come back any time. Just don't tell the others...we're trying to keep this place a secret and let the 'boring Ohio' moniker let us keep riding under the radar.

    Again, it was nice seeing you again. Seems we don't see each other often.
