    With this terrible cold weather, let us begin to think about spring!

    Welcome all to the Spring GTG May 3-4 at Backwoods Savage's place! Come one and come all. Expect to have a good time and some may even learn a few tricks of the trade, or just plain old tricks.

    This year which is a bit later than normal but with Easter Sunday being on our usually gtg weekend, we've moved it back a bit. This should also make it better for the campers as the nights should be a tad warmer.

    We'll be starting a PM soon for this so be sure to check back.

    May 3rd to 4th, this might give me enough time to convince my wife that me going is a good idea.

    I've heard and seen pics that some guys bring their wives along. It changes them, but I'm not sure if the change is "for better or worse"

    If the wife comes so does the 3 little ladies. I would like to try and learn as much as possible while there.

    I've never been to a GTG but I would hesitate bringing 3 young ladies also.

    Eh, kids usually have a blast doing new things. Even if all they do is girly girl things they'll have a great time.

    They’ll be fine. Plenty to do and plenty of area to roam. Heck, chipper1 brings his whole family, brenndatomu brought his boy to the Ohio one this fall, Scotty Overkill brought his boy two years ago to Dennis’s and I’m not sure who has more fun the kids or the adults... it’s a big laid back atmosphere...:handshake:

    Yup. But I really am serious about no cameras and can not expect those wishes to be observed. The location would fit in rather nicely as there are other reasons to go below the bridge also.
