    I believe you would qualify, as you are much closer to presumed N/S centerline of the country than I am....

    I have a two horse trailer with tack room I was going to bring to sleep in. Is there enough space or is the Backwoods Campground filled up?

    I'd sleep in a stall, cause I'm so tall
    maybe in a car out under a star
    or in a truck cause that's my luck
    I have a desire to lay by the fire
    and have a drink while I think
    It'll be a get together like no other
    lumber jacks or don't know jack
    saws and chains on the brains
    we'll get to splitin', hey no quitin'
    food to eat, hey is that Pete ?
    At Sav's there'll be a party, so don't be tardy
    Judy will be lookin at what you got cookin

    Come on down to the Backwoods Savage Ball

    The water there is coming from a on site residential well or from municipal Village wells, as opposed to the Flint River.

    Remind me to talk to the wife tonight....:whistle: your welcome here anytime!:thumbs:

    Heck ill pick up some folks at the airport and play shuttle driver too... ive got access to a van. Flint airport is only about 30 minutes from me... Maybe we can stay away from vehicle rentals that way and save people some money.

    Excellent but we do have to put in a new well; probably some time this spring. We do have some lime in the water but just enough to give the water a good flavor. Don't like many of the neighbors water though. We just happen to be blessed here I guess. We put down our present well ourselves about 45 years ago. Still lots of water but pipe is getting pretty plugged up so the water comes a bit slow.

    Flint river is a long ways and we're too far from the village so our water comes straight out of the ground.

    Pete, you are probably even closer to the Lansing airport than Flint?

    About the same really we are centered between lansing and flint. I can say lansing is pricier than flint to fly out of.

    Depending on when folks fly in I am literally 2 miles from the lansing airport for work.

    Probably. Flying to or from Lansing means you fly through O'Hare in Chicago. Flint is better that way. Best choices are from Detroit but that is too far away.
