The Timber Kid is coming to America

I did not see Yellowstone National Park on the map, are you crazy? How can you go to Denver and not Yellowstone?

I am within spittin’ distance of Yellowstone.

I would love to meet you.

So you are staying with family-family or LJ family? It would be a good way to travel you know.

Are you traveling by yourself or with mom and pop?

You could travel by yourself and the family could follow your adventures and travels online.

You could watch the sun set here in my backyard.

Or go for a hike up here overlooking the Yellowstone River, this is behind my house.

Aahh, the good stuff is all right here.

You need to swing thru Nashville, TN. We are 3 hours from Memphis and 4 hours to Atlanta. We are the home of country music and have alot to do here. There are also several LumberJocks that live in the area. We would love to have you stop in the area.

As you near the northeast US, you should stop into Karson’s shop, from what I understand, it’s a one of a kind experience. I am sure that he would LOVE to have you stop by.

How about a trip to the Land-Down-Under? Not too far out of your way :P

-- The wood slayer - Yes dear I did plan to make more kindling out of that wood I have been drying for the last year - honest!

maybe the year after Andraxia :)

Adrian, I family in Nashville, so I may add that to my route

Other than paying for travel, I don’t think that you will have to pay for any beds.

It looks like you’ll be swinging right by my place in Georgia ;)

That’s quite a trip. I hope it works out for you, because you won’t be disappointed.

Callum, if you decide to hit the east coast, I’m right in the middle and not far from Karson. Just let me know.

Sounds cool!

You might as well stop in Kansas, Your more than welcome to stop in!

Sounds like a fun trip! Just remember… If you get tired of the drive & want to go by boat you can float down the Mississippi or Missouri Rivers to where they join up & see the Gateway Arch here in St.Louis, Missouri. (You can get to St. Louis by car, bus, train & jet too!) There’s sooooo much to see here in the United States… I’m sure it’s a tough decision on what to include & what to leave out of your trip. HAVE A GOOD TIME!

K looks like Nashville. As you head down I-75 It’s Me, Tim D and I are only a couple of miles off the highway.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

very cool trip…you will see soooo much of the USA…well…I hope you have a great time…I wish I did not have 3 kids and a WIFE because I love ROAD TRIPS…I have never been past Chicago…so you will HAVE to document your travels…HEY—-here is an idea—-maybe you could do something like the pen trade!!!

You could bring a piece of wood from the last woodworker to the next wood worker and then they could all post their projects as a way to connect all the LJ’s…that would be cool!!!

Of course I noticed you are missing the WEST COAST…the BEACH…THE OCEAn…and of course the beautiful NAPA VALLEY…lol…but…next time right??? You could make a trip out of the west coast by itself…much liike the east coast…then just fly over the space in the middle….

I cant wait to watch your trip…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

…then just fly over the space in the middle….

Hey…!!!!

Hey Napaman, The wood trade sounds like a great idea and It would be great to go to the west coast, I Am going to document my trip, uploading new videos and pictures each stage of the trip.

Man, I checked out the map yesterday and then again today….You have added ALOT of stops to it. It looks like you will get to spend 10 minutes at each stop….LOL.

-- Adrian ..... The 11th Commandment...."Thou Shalt Not Buy A Wobble Dado"

Adrian, thats the great thing about driving rather than flying, I can spend aslong as I like at each place or I can stop somwhere along the way :)

Looks like a fun trip hope you have allowed plenty of time for travel. I drove from Nashville to Seattle to see family a couple of years ago never again to far to drive for me I like jumping on a plane and getting there in a few hours. If you make the stop in Nashville It would be nice to meet you.
