Lots of good pics, Robert! Doug used to hang out here until he got his helicopter.

Doug is most likely the most free spirit on the internet.He glides in and out and so slick you never know just exactly where or who he is.Here today,gone tommorrow or is he?

Every so often I catch just fleeting glimpses of his presence ,hither and yon .You just never know if you see a whirly bird in the sky, just might be he. For that matter a personality shows up some place on the internet then gone like the wind.The true "easy rider" of cyberspace.

Well put Al, I personaly have had the pleasure to meet the man and stay with him and his wife. Pretty cool guy, loaned me his R22 helicopter for flying lessons (that takes some balls) his boat, jet ski, etc.

Last time I went there I asked him to fly me over to a good freinds brothers house for a quick visit, shoulda seen the look on his face when we were hovering right out over his front porch. Doug is a great guy, I'll tell him to stop by and say hello.

i heard that on the news, maybe theyll take the rest down and make something nice out of it

 

[SkwerI]

Maybe Robert can help cut it up!

(this IS the PREDATOR thread..)

 

[MasterBlaster]

Man, that sucks.

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Wonder if they'll do anything with it.

 

[Paul B]

ha! look at that Mr MD Vaden had his pic published on that site! crappy to hear that the tree failed, interesting to see a treehouser get a pic posted up to it.

Sitka pic

here is a pic.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Vaden is more a Trollworlder than a TreeHouser. He prefers to rub shoulders with the likes of Mr. Frei.

Just looked through this thread, Rotax. Great photos & awesome saw! I have seen that old blue truck, I think, at the Redwoods Regional Logging Conference in Ukiah, CA.

I sure would like to make it up to Washington for one of those shows. Here the logging shows are dyeing out.

That stick had heartrot pretty bad. Robert I was wondering how you folks down south were getting, Lots of water. I'm headed over to Aberdeen to give a hand, still lots of roads a long ways from getting cleared out, at least its in the right part of the state with the right folks for getting wood moved.

We still have the one at Klaloch dont we. I know there was a lot of argument wich one was actually bigger.

 

[wiley_p]

I forgot about that. Good question.

 

[Rotax Robert]

We still have the one at Klaloch dont we. I know there was a lot of argument wich one was actually bigger.

Don't quote me but I think the one in washington was taller but less DBH or visa-versa. I do think though that the Oregon one scaled more feet, I think, but then what the heck do I know. I have seen both.

 

[Cedarkerf]

Thinkin our is bigger now no question.
