    Well, I checked to see how far it would be. It is 3035 miles and would take 47 hours. I think we will have to wait until I have retired. Not going to do that trip in a weekend. Too much to see.

    If we are invited I might be able to do it if I pull an all nighter both ways and let the wife do the day time driving.

    For that distance, planes are much quicker! Would surely love to see you two out here for a nice GTG. We could guarantee you would enjoy it almost as much as we'd enjoy entertaining you.

    Everyone is invited!! FHC is a family! :)

    As Dennis mentioned, flying would be faster and likely cheaper. Would love to see you two!

    Still hoping to make it to meet all of you! I won't know until the last minute, but I'm trying to get things as lined up as I can. It looks to be a short little 370 mile day trip door to door. In the event that I can make it, I'll just be laying the seat back in the truck. I can sleep anywhere! LOL

    My youngest son is making the trek with me, and I am really looking forward to it. We'll be arriving sometime Friday around noon, if all goes to plan. I'll be tenting it, might even haul the Tipi up.

    Chris and Brian will be riding up in a separate vehicle with us. I'll have some of my climbing gear to do some work, as well as a couple surprises, including my chainsaw mill and another recently aquired toy.......

    And I'm even planning on bringing that 1957 I.E.L. Pioneer RA that I hotrodded up....

    Gonna be a great time!!

    I hope you do bring the teepee. That would be nice. We'll be looking for you. If I happen to be in the woods, Judy will be here so you will be welcomed.

    Time has really screamed by and I had a very rough March at the shop. I lost a week to the flu and it was slow. Does not look good for me this year.

    Yep. Came back for another visit to me, too. Third time this season, though not as bad (yet?)

    Unfortunately my vacation time for the 21st and 24th has been revoked. Not only that but I am required to work Saturday as well. Due to fellow employees leaving. I can only hope for next year.

    Not good to hear about the bugs nor the cancelling coming to the GTG. But, we know only too well how these things can go.
