lindasledgirl Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thats great news Linda but how is it that you are communicating with groomer in Gods country, is there someone on the hunt with him with a sat phone or perhaps a spot device. JG He called me to make sure I made it home safely...he has a special phone booth up there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Well...let's just say while Jean-Guy is up at the camp....I am going to show you some pictures of the Jean-Guy I know.....Here are some pictures of the photographer!!

lindasledgirl Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 There was a post by Jean-Guy of a mushroom...he doesn't tell you that he spent about 20 minutes taking those...the mushroom was on the top of a stump, he had to stand on the 4 wheeler to take the pics. But he moved the 4 wheeler around to get the shots from different angles. It was one of those times I could see all the effort he puts in. And that's for us...not him.

lindasledgirl Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) And then there is Jean-Guy the 'Moose Whisperer'...not kidding! We come upon the moose, he pulls me off the 4 wheeler by the back of my coat and tells me to walk on the outside of my feet! Don't make any noise (hates my noisy pants lol), hurry up and somehow I am not suppose to talk! YIKES!! The 4 wheeler made noise getting there...so the moose are walking or running away! But he calls them, they stop and look and some of them actually come back!! He can track them, knows how old the tracks and poop are and where they will be and when! Great experience!! And some of MY pictures show you just how close he gets to just to the pictures!! Good times!!

crazysnow Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Linda is that wood for the winter or is groomer at work. ? What's going on. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi Crazysnow!! That was Jean-Guys last day of work in the woods this year. I arrived on the Thursday night...he went to work till noon on Friday, I arrived for the last 4 trees! I was tired just watching him! He makes the saw look light, he made the logs look light...but they were not! (No pictures of him laughing as I tried to move one). Did you notice my close up of the saw...with his gloves! We had that one printed! I haven't been with a lumberjack before, but he has me stand pretty close to these falling trees and he is very sure which way they will fall. I mean, not just aproximately...exactly! Then he walks up and down it triming the little sticks, limbs etc again like the saw is about a pound! Measures it, one...two lenghts and cuts it then drags the tree with his hook and moves it to a pile like its made of foam or something. And I saw the bee/wasp nest that is about 40' up in a tree...so be ready for snow! Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week ago we rode thru Virginia to Blue Ridge Parkway to Deals gap corner of NC & TN, did 1900 miles in 5 days. Getting ready for snow... Thanks for the great pix.
