    Hallo Folks.
    Some of us Connecticut folks are in the thought-tossing stages of planing a get together.

    Timing: probably a few weeks out: April or May, cool enough to be comfortable and have an outdoor fire kind of weather. I'd imagine we'd take the better part of a day and into the evening.

    Location: we've got members all over CT; a place centrally located for everyone coming along will work well.

    Generally we're looking for a rough head-count to establish a suitable location.

    SCA

    I know of back roads to get into CT.

    I'd try to make it.

    You guys could probably all start driving around looking for a few dead trees in someone’s yard or ditch and then call all the others for a meet-up. Like coyotes. :cool:

    They were an arena football team here in the mid 1990's. I went to a few games.

    Yep- I’ve never been to a GTG that was largely billed as for in-staters… and gotta last more than a day! This has traditionally happened at places like Backwoods Savage ‘s, DexterDay ‘s, and our other Ohio brother walt ‘s… a multi day GTG builds incredible relationships and let me tell ya’s the amount of wood CSS’d (and maybe cold snacks consumed… eatonpcat :whistle: )!
    Well, y’all have probably read those threads. :yes:

    Whatever ya’s do, ya know the chief rule- pics pics pics!!!

    Well Seasoned also had a couple of GTG's that were overnighters for those from a distance.

    Some stayed at local hotels. Some camped on-site, with their kids. And, some curled up inside.

    I'm out. :smoke:

    Just kidding , Poulan green and I am still in.

    My place is small , I wish it was bigger as to where members could camp or stay but my double-wide half acre set-up just isn't cut out for it.
