Lee we look forward to meeting you. When you say your "guys" are you referring to your family or employs?

Sadly this year I will not be able to make it, I'm just too tied up here to get away. I hope everyone has a good time and learns something.

This isn't designed to teach an entire crew. It is more of a teach the teacher type of thing. We teach and share with you and then you take that knowledge and teach your guys.

I have been wanting to attend for a few years now.  My mill has just over 30 hours on it, so maybe I can learn something to get things going.

I will be bringing my wife.  This should make #50/51.  We will be driving from Freeport, Michigan.  Looking forward to meeting everyone!


We need to get away for once... this should be fun!

After speaking with Lynn I'm committed to making the 3500 mile journey NEXT year!  Wish I could this year but it just won't work!

Enjoy and I looking forward to NEXT year!

Sometimes I feel that employees are like little children.  When they hear it from a stranger it carries more weight than if it comes from parents or people that they are constantly around.

I want to comment on this, but wont. We are all lucky Jake gives any of us an opportunity to come and learn from each other and I appreciate it.

True!  But sadly 3500 miles is just a tad far for me this year.

Hey Bruno.  I had been thinking about you the past two days and was about to PM magic to be sure you were doing ok.  Would love to meet you someday.  Glad to hear from you.  I saw the raised beds that you have had good success with and it reminded me of you.  Cheers!

Looking forward to this event and meeting you all.   Just let me know how I can help - I'm happy to bring my smoker and some boston butts and make pulled pork sandwiches, and happy to help run the grill if you all just want burgers and dogs.  Or I'll contribute cash to whatever the plan is...

Howard, he won't need that apron. You will recognize him easy, trust me. In fact when I first met him and Pat, they wandered into our campsite the evening before the pig roast and I knew who he was before he even got close.

 As for your body cast, make sure they don't forget to put the drain holes in. ;D :D

Dang it!  I guess I'd missed the part about this likely being the last of these :(  I've wanted to try to make one for a LONG time now but being way out west with Crossroads and others it's, well, a long way.  I just figured, like many I suppose, that I'd make it 'one day'.

Now I'm sorry I didn't try to make plans when Jake first posted this.

I have been following and do not see a post saying it is the last.  I think the sentiment was you never know who will make it to the next.  Danny (WDH) is a case in point.  Please someone correct me if I missed something.

Correct doc.  Jeff said that we can never count on "next year". 

We never know.  Waiting until next year might be a year too late.

I may not be there in person, but some of my homemade bacon left Idaho today headed that way. Now we just need to see if any of it makes it past Ohio.....

If any are looking into flying in, you might want to check ticket prices to Savannah. Sometimes it is cheaper than Atlanta. My place is pretty much 2 hours from both. Every year when I'm putting in all of the work to get things ready for the project, I tell myself this will be the last one. Then during and after the project I have so much fun and learn so much, I start looking forward to next year. I have often thought of passing the torch and letting someone else host the project, so we could see how someone else does it. One of the big advantages I have is having everything from planers, kiln, sharpening equipment, close by hotels and an interstate that isn't far from my place. This lets folks see just about any part of the process they might be interested in learning about. Not trying to say my place is better than anyone else's. I know for a fact that I'm looking forward to seeing my friends and spending time with them. One of the things we are falling short of this year is our band for the porch on Friday evening. Open to suggestions on that one. I do have a radio.  ;D
