If all goes as planned I'll be at the Lake States Logging at the U.P. State Fairgrounds in Escanaba on Friday Sept. 5.  Anybody else going?

That's my plan. Friday and probably Saturday although I have no idea where I'll sleep. Probably have to tent it some where as all the rooms anywhere up there have been booked for months I hear.

I booked a room today in Manistique at the Holiday Inn Express. It's a little farther than I would like but was the best I could do.

I'm planning to get there about noon on Friday and then leave Saturday afternoon.

Okiemac

You can camp right on the grounds of the UP State Fairgrounds where the event is held.  I have a spot reserved, just call the UP Fairgrounds direct 906-786-4011 and they will give you the information.

Jeff,

Do you have guard dogs?

Anyway stop by the camper I would love to meet you or any of the FF members that may be at the show.  I will have my ton flatbed, which has my name on the side pulling the camper  so you should be able to find me.

Is there any designated place where FF members will be stopping at to BS?

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Maybe we can get one of our sponsors that may be there to let me stick up the forestryforum meeting spot banner that wood-mizer made up for us.

Does any body have logs that they would like sawn up for free, we could use some for demo-ing at the show.  If any one knows some one in the general area have them call Don Cadwell at mobile mfg co 1-877-272-9645, thats toll free! We've got the mill set up to cut boards up to 4" x 12"  and can cut up to 20' in length, and as little as 4' length.   Hard or soft wood I don't care, 2000 to 4000 BDF of scale would be great, I don't want to work to hard, we've got a 20+ hour drive to get to the show.  Every one is welcome to hang out at our site, I promise not to give the band saw people a hard time.  I'd like to show every one how the mill works.  
Enough sawmill talk for now I'm heading over to Hawaii sunday, were I'm hooking up with Steve of Hawaiian Hardwoods, to check out what its like to saw that tropical hardwood.  I'll share some of the pictures in a week or so.
