It might be a tough go for us but I'm not going to rule it out. To avoid a backlash I would need to combine it with a visit to see family in central KY - 4.5 hour drive from there. Thanks to a friend, I already have a life-time supply of flint. Hey, I've visited your uncle more recently than you. It's time for a trip! Hahaha that is true. I haven't been there since I was a teenager. It's just ... so ... far ... away ...

I would be up for it, but that is a little far out for my impromptu lifestyle. A little warm out for my normal trip method (teardrop). Are the hotels in the area usually full that time of year?

Tommy will be in a teardrop too. The campgrounds have rivers and trees. No clue about hotels. That area is pretty hillbilly.

Can't wait to see the dwarf on a backhoe but how will they reach the pedals?

We could easily put that together on trip like this. Anybody know how to operate one? Maybe me! Lol

Also, the price of "admission" has changed, it's no longer $5 to dig, it's $7.50. Still $0.50/pound though. I was able to talk to Ms. Nether herself when I was there a couple weeks back. Very nice lady!

I'm only 2 hours and can't drive but I'm in, I think. I think a bus may go by that area. It's still a long time from now. If I start now maybe I could thumb a ride.
