Curious about the firewood availability.
Sawbill campground = no wood available.
HolidaySationStore in Tofte' state that they have an abundance of firewood, mostly birch, 2 bundles for $11.00. 30 minutes from campground.

Well I just got off the phone with the ranger and he said he just got off the phone with a guy named tumblweed... lol so I'm guessing your question has been answered. But so others know, the campground is in the national forest and we are allowed to collect firewood. The ranger suggested that to minimize impact that we go either deeper into the woods or further down the road. This is no different than in past years as we've driven down the road and cut wood and tied the sled to the truck to pull it back.

I'm guessing this is over now. I was hoping for some pics. Sure sorry to miss these hangs now.
Hope everybody had fun!

Pics are on facebook Hard not to have fun at this hang, although everyone was spread out this year so more smaller groups rather than the usual single group around a large fire. It was still a great time, just different.

Yeah it was for sure different. I think next year we should sort of outline a series of campsites for people to camp at if they would like to be closer together. Also, there are some photos on facebook, but most of the vids haven't been posted yet either. I think Hillbilly just announced that he is starting on his edits. I, for once, did not do any photos or video.

Good call - now that we know how it worked out, we'll have a better idea of how to coordinate next year so that we all spend more time as a group. I saw people I hadn't seen a single second of the trip while I was hiking out! That's crazy!
