The Mark 7 Logging Arch

Pete J · March 16, 2007, 07:55:29 PM

I think dangerous_dan needs to eat a few more cheeseburgers. I don't know physics, but I do know how I was painfully ejected from my end of a playground see-saw as a child. The big kid has a natural advantage.

So, what's up with the arch ??? I could REEEEEEAAAAAALLLLYYY use that thing this coming Monday to fetch logs from a yard ;)

An arch update:

I just spoke with Red on the phone a little while ago, and we should be meeting up sometime on Saturday so I can pick up the arch

If everything goes as planned I should be done with it Monday. And yes, I've secured a good digital camera and a photograper ;D

So, to keep things going, who is around central PA that would like to use the arch ??? It sounds like there are lots of members wanting to try it out. If you're interested let me know so we can get a game plan moving, and when I'm done with it the arch can continue on its way

ohsoloco · March 25, 2007, 07:12:07 PM

Well, I couldn't get in touch with Red on Friday, and haven't heard from him yet, so I guess I'm out. After tomorrow morning I won't really have a use for it :-\

Jeff · March 26, 2007, 03:18:42 PM

I'm hoping Red and ohsoloco got together before this morning.

Dangerous_Dan · March 26, 2007, 07:14:10 PM

Red is MIA.
The arch is at my farm in NJ.
Speak up if you want to come pick it up.

Jeff · March 26, 2007, 08:45:32 PM

Well go skid da neighbors logs until somebody shows up to claim it. :D

moosehunter · March 27, 2007, 07:29:17 AM

I'd like to try it out, but NJ is a bit far for me to traval to get it! I will be going to NJ in Sept., but I sure hope it isn't still there in sept.

Please send me your Street Address if you are intrested in testing the Arch, and I will update the map. That way we can figure out how to move it with the least driving.

ohsoloco · March 27, 2007, 02:40:41 PM

The arch never made it my way, but this is the first I've been online since Sunday. I honestly don't think the arch would've moved that big log anyway, but it would've been fun to find out ;D

If the arch needs to stop by my place to cut down on driving time for some people, then that would be cool. I just never know when I'll actually need one.

johnjbc · March 27, 2007, 07:10:51 PM

Added Quartlow
Added ohsoloco
I don't mean to take over scheduling of who gets the arch next. I would think that the person who currently has the arch and is ready to send it on would make a post (With Pictures please) and make arrangements with someone near by to use it next.
Quartlow - To answer your question about viewing the map online. Jeff or one of the Admins would have to do that.

Burlkraft · March 27, 2007, 07:21:50 PM

I know that Beenthere's on da road dis weekend...Mebby he's hacked inta the GPS signal comin' from da arch and he's gonna commandeer it and get her CLOSER ta the Mississip.... ;D ;D

Thanks JEff, I was having a tough time squinting my eyes to read that little one :D :D

Looks good Jeff. smiley_clapping
If anyone would like to be added to the map I need your Street, City, State Address so Street Atlas can add a Map Note for your location. I guess we also need it for Dangerous_Dan`so we have a starting point.
I will go ahead and add anyone who asks but will center the map on the current location of the arch. So as the arch moves closer to you, you will show up.
