    Heck, that's not too bad. Just have to get through Massachusetts. :doh:[/QUOTE]

    Smack dab in the middle of the state.
    Hey if you can sneak your way over to 91 you hardly have to know you went through Massachusetts LOL. 91 is a sweet ride down. Have a sister that lives near Boston. Wish she would move further west :)
    Hope to see you here.

    I missed Brads question about multiple days. Sure if anyone wants to drive Friday instead of driving Saturday feel free. My guess would be you’re tenting or rv’ing. Grab a spot and enjoy yourselves. Anyone wants to camp over Saturday into Sunday also feel free. Imagine a lot of people will want to do that with the beer consumption and all. ;) :)

    Put me down. I’ll camp in a corner. If I can get across Massachusetts also that is.

    Btw I went back and counted 10 pretty solid and 3 gonna try’s .

    So we’re at 13 maybes.


    PS I just got a vision of the horde descending upon some poor Marketplace/Craigslist poster advertising “Free Firewood” in the area that day.

    3,398 miles with a two hour ferry ride and 53 hours of driving. Just a hop and skip from here. Maybe next year. I hope everyone has a great time.

    Joe,
    I’ve got an Ooni propane pizza oven I could bring. Depending on how many people, it would be good supplemental pizza. While it cooks pizzas pretty quick, it won’t pump them out so everyone can eat at once. But always happy to cook!

    That could work. Instead of me buying pizza I could order something else off their catering menu. Thanks.

    Thinking that’s a little too soon for a GTG here. April showers bring May flowers and all :) Farmers may like it but I’m cursed with 8” of topsoil and clay hard pan underneath. Water does not go anywhere. Just as one guy I have to shut down work when it’s wet season. I can sink to my ankles just walking across the yard after a heavy rain. You may have to find your way through Massachusetts twice :)
    Thinking May 20th or June 10th. Unless folks want to do it Memorial Day? I know GTG planners usually skip holidays as people have other things to do but I’m open for it.
    On the bright side I’m 15 minutes closer than Wopowog Rd. LOL

    5/20 is an open date for me. The gtg is on the schedule!

    I'll probably make it a day trip, 90min each way. I'll hope to get there real early in the morning. And head back home at some point.
