    Firewood there is "Burn what ya brung". So far we haven't found a supplier over there. If I remember correctly wasn't it you that mentioned having an acquaintance/relative in that area that did landscaping or something? That would have been a year ago when we went the first time. Be really nice to find someone in the area; hard to haul much in an E30.
    Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
    That way, if you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

    It takes hundreds of nuts to hold a car together,
    but it takes only one of them to scatter it all over the highway.

      my brother's office was moved to Atlanta, so I now don't have anyone there.


      I guess, I'll have to find a way to get my trailer up there, hehe.

        I'm probably gonna look like an Indian tour bus. Pile all my gear in a car topper and load the trunk with firewood.

            How long are you gonna be there Art ? If I remember right you may have a time limited visit.

            I am bringing what wood I can haul in the trailer... I will likely have enough to keep us going but not really enough for more than one firepit..

            Really not sure yet how much I can just get...

              i will be there all 3 days. Made sure I could be, this time. I will bring some firewood with me. Seeing the number of people coming, I don't think we'll have more than one fire-pit anyway.

                Glad you can make the full event Art... The evenings get quite cool at Balsam.. I will try to get as much firewood as I can haul.. I haven't talked to Steve yet but we are coming in sometime Thursday afternoon.. As far as I know...

                    That's what I'm looking forward to...70 tops in daytime and 40s at night... I love that kind of weather..Seems the Mcmuffin boys have bailed on us... They just don't know what they are missing..

                    edit: Talked to Steve today and we will likely come in some time late afternoon Thursday. It filled up way to fast on Friday last year..

                      Bailed? Nah. Not bailed. Both 'jobs' with action plus I am an instructor at Street Survival this weekend. Just can't get away so many weekends in a row.

                      Plus I just saw Mr. Langston.

                        Now Halston, you had stated previously you were coming out for this... If you aren't, then you have bailed...lol Along with the Mcmuffin posse...

                        Yes it is that simple. Even though Mr. Langston is a great guy your just seeing him doesn't help unless you see him this weekend at Balsam.....:tsk::tsk::tsk:

                          If I get there at noon on Friday, will you be there? Because last time I showed up, I ended up taking a 4 hour nap before you came back.
