    I was thinking I probably couldn’t do another GTG this year, but I just read thru the guest list :cheers: and menu... :drool: And I just had to RSVP as a maybe. :)

    Looks like the trip from my house to Whitefield NH is 498 miles. I think this could be a sign from the wood gods: my house to Dennis’ in Chesaning MI is exactly 497 miles.

    I’ll have to carefully gauge Amy’s reaction, as she’d probably have to stay home with the boys. Bandit was just wonderful on our trip to the OH GTG last fall, but Teddy gets carsick and I don’t think he’d do well on an 8-9hr ride.

    I hope you can make it out Shawn. I'm sure I can chat up some woodworking conversations with you.

    Anyone bringing an Isocore? I'd like to take one for a test drive on some rounds.

    I'm excited to see old faces and some new ones too! One thing I've found going to these GTG's is they NEVER last long enough. They're always over too fast.

    We couldn't make it to Dennis's this year, my son's prom fell on that Saturday. He and I were both bummed. But Chris (cwn877), his fiance and I did get to the Upstate NY GTG for the day last Sunday, and saw several guys from our site as well as OPE Forum. Including Mastermind, Adirondackstihl, and RI Chevy. Several others too, just too many faces to put names to.....

    Brian, is it OK for us to tent on the property? I'd bring my tipi but I'd never be able to haul the 16' poles up on the roof of the Durango.....lol

    Come Friday night, we all need more time! It goes too fast!

    I'm hoping to get there on Thursday, If That Is OK with Brian....I have an emotional affair with the state of New Hampshire.....lmao.

    I'll bring my big antique hand wrought iron skillets (one is Rev War era, the other is Civil War era), I can whip up a big campfire breakfast on Saturday morning if anyone is into that....

    I too was hoping to get my travelling done on Friday. A good 3.5hrs. All I'll need is a spot to park my minivan, and that'll be my house and bed for a couple of nights.

    Brian, I have a 10x10 EZ-UP type of popup canopy, if that's of any help. Plus a few other pieces of campsite equipment.

    Praying for good weather.

    Love the idea; thanks for the offer, but it doesn’t seem right to accept that offer from anybody except We’ll Seasoned. We will see what that weekend brings. Looking forward to it.
