Hi O B, sounds good to me. We have a 30' 5er with one slide and a small inside dog that travels with us. Will that be a problem? We're all three seasoned travelers so we know the dog rules.
We would plan on coming in Thursday and bring some wood. Don't demo but are willing to help any way we can.

Gathering in Feb

Great Bill; Yes theres plenty of room and the little dog is also very welcome. Just keep him on a leash as we have free roam peacocks and cats. Will need some help setting up tables and stuff on thursday. Email me closer to feb and I'll send you some directions. Looking forward to seeing you in Feb.

Bill,

Sounds like fun, and only a short drive for me compared to most events it seems. Plus I can stay with my in-laws in Milton and make good points for visiting with them but have an excuse to leave most of the day :cool2:

I'll pass this on to the guys and gals in the Emerald Coast Woodturning bunch at the next meeting. Let me know if I can be of any help as we get closer.

Woodwish, I've got a dear friend who lives in Lynn Haven. In fact my wife just bought his wife's car and took them back to LH on wed.
His name is Grady Broxton, do you by chance know him? Looking forward to meeting you folks.
