I posted this before. Satellite shot of the area we'd be working with.

The piece of woods is on the left. You can see my drive way where the woods and field meet by the road.

When I held a GTG last April, mud was of concern... Got relatively solid ground?? It's helpful with parking and such...

In April, mud would be of potential concern for me as well but it's all sand out my way. The ground can take a lot of moisture before it gets sloppy both in the woods and the field. The field is ours as well but we are leasing it to some potato farmers this year. I don't know right now who is responsible for fall tillage but if it's the potato guys, driving in the field may be an issue and they rip super deep. Take my word for it, trying to drive in super soft soil that has been ripped close to 2 feet down with a pickup doesn't work too well...

Count me in if you plan on December! Sept. 28/29 already booked to be hitting little white things at treetops...yes I carry a husky in my bag in case a tree gets in the way of the green.
Nice bonfire to stay warm by and cook weiners and we could have a blast!
I've been to several and had a great time at all. I've seen incredible spreads of food to we all chipped in and had some little caesars pizza.

Was trying to figure out how to post a poll... Seems to be eluding me. Not that we've had a ton of input but it sounds like December is going to work out better. Perhaps we should shoot for then? I'm thinking the first or second weekend. I don't want to get too close to Christmas.

Would a Saturday or Sunday work better?
