Still thinking so popups are welcome at mavs place. Just curious. As I might take one eagle or another eagle. Well. That is considering a number of things. Like me getting a tandem trailer for a queen.

I think it's high time you guys up in Tenn had a little get together, especially since Eaglefreek moved that way. There seems to be quite a few members up there and Nothern Ga.

Gas trimmer Simpson? lol.... I've got trimmers and weedeaters and I'll have the place looking like a golf course when you arrive.

All styles of camping equipment will be allowed.... first come first serve for the best spots.

Outside camp grounds are ok... galesburg has pretty much everything, but they are very strict on what/whom they let in. No beer. Lots of mosquitos.

I have hardly any mosquitos around here. The biggest problem we have is spiders when the grass gets too tall and when it gets cold they start to make for the house and parts cars. I just had the house sprayed and haven't seen one since. I will do so again before the meet and early next spring I'm buying one of those grass feeders that can be pulled by my mower.... I will spread fresh sead, weed, killer and flea/tick/spider/ant killer/repelant. Trust me... you will be kozy. I will probably have more lighting and lots of teeki torches everywhere by then as well.

I'm betting that most of you won't want to leave once you get here... poor Kay, is stuck here atm and dying to leave... but that's because it's not finished yet and things are still very hectic. By the Meet - everything will be done and you will all be simply amazed.

Memphis, yes, a very distinct possibililty.  If the timing works we could meet in West Memphis and head north from there.

We value comfort over camping these days so we would hope there are motels not too far away.
