Where is the Mother Earth News Fair? I live near Somerset/.

 Right on the rain, we are in a lousy pattern right now. Would have been a stunning ride if clear.

The fair is at seven rivers resort...we will be there around nine in the morning...

Got through pa asc...Met Marty's dad, Bob, an awesome fellow! He showed me around the shop, and the Resharp facility, and was really great...Roger was hugely helpful in getting us hooked up to go, and we will hopefully meet up with Marty and Lisa at Seven Rivers tomorrow..

Not much to say yet about the trailer kit, except to say that it is built like a tank and sits behind the truck solid as a stone going down the highway at speed...even without the mill on it.
Typical stellar woodmizer equipment!
I will, of course, post up a review of the installation and operation of the mill....The first mod is going to be the addition of a removeable mast to adapt the loading winch to assist in turning big logs....can already tell it will be needed...

Trout Run comes west, into Indian Creek at the base of the ridge, then south 10 miles to Youghigheny River at Camp Carmel, then "Yough" to Mononghela River at Mckeesport,  to the Ohio at Pittsburgh ::) So yes they do become rivers.

 If you can leave Seven Springs south on 711/ 381 to "Normalville" (no kidding, good gas station there with Diesel if you need it) Then to Ohiopyle, and Check out the waterfall, and/or the "Slides" and go into the Falls Market for a sandwich/ ice cream (Pyle Burger recommended, I ate the first EVER and hand dipped ice cream) I built the flitch curly cherry counter. This is a whitewater rafting area, and home of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. Locally it is THE coolest spot. All within 1/2 mile of the Falls Market.  Also a great Rail to Trail there if you bicycle.

 Main falls :


Natural slides:


 Cucumber Falls, 1/2 mile away on different stream:



You would NOT be disappointed stopping there and it IS on the way to Morgantown

Sweet! Thanks!
I almost forgot about this one....We no sooner pulled out of the Service center, and owing to my refusal to wreck a thirty thousand dollar trick for a ten cent tree rat, I mowed one over...looked at the wife, smirked, and said "Squirrell Mizer..."
She did not speak to me for awhile...
