Photos by Cindy Micheli

_mic2594Bucking a log for best time

_mic2530Makes the photo editor shudder just thinking about what damage this could do to a foot. It is, however, the event I’m most impressed with.

_mic2530_mic2462Sawdust man, or woman, or _mic2498_mic2388_mic2379_mic2364Choker setting competition

_mic2352Great to see an enthusiastic audience. That’s the reason we put on the Jamboree

_mic2343Michelle Kafka, competitor and keeper of data_mic2333_mic2310Choker setting competition, see the choker in his hand_mic2273Wonderful follow-through. Don’t know if it paid off.

_mic2239One handed throw, does that work?

_mic2205Cindy, our photographer, saw the opportunity for this great portrait shot. Nice job, Cindy_mic2201_mic2200_mic2202_mic2196_mic2183_mic2181Great job by Cindy catching George Harrison in this reflective mood_mic2179_mic2167Our Richard Small helping out. I was going to ask him to identify some of the participants in these photos, but he’s best at remembering historical people, not present day ones.Richard did a lot of the hard work getting ready for the Jamboree._mic2114Jack and Jill log bucking competition

I really wanted the broad axe in the foreground but somebody made a very generous bid on it. Fishing kit was donated by Ebbetts Pass Sporting Goods_mic1736

_mic1735Kayak donated by SNAC  Attracted a lot of interest and made us a lot of money_mic1733_mic1726_mic1702_mic1677_mic1675_mic1671_mic1567_mic1541Now that’s a good dad or grandpa. He may go deaf, but the little fellow isn’t._mic1536_mic1528_mic1524_mic1510_mic1499_mic1489_mic1481_mic1474_mic1467_mic1456The axe in the beer can. That’s what it’s all about_mic1445_mic1433_mic1428_mic1404

_mic1398_mic1375_mic2319_mic1370I obviously didn’t know the names of a lot of people in these photos, but I’d be happy to add them if you send me their names to snlm@goldrush.com
