Primitive in the fact that there is no electricity, no potable water, if it is wet no cars, camping would be OK but remember what is not available. The site would be only accessible after the beans are cut and it would be a one mile drive across a field, over a creek and into a cattle pasture.

That actually sounds like an ad venture...

In the past that was not even good enough for the law. Any out of state firearm in IL is a big no no if your final destination is in IL. They no likey outside firearms in them thar hills boys:msp_ohmy:

I run a gas leak detection truck in E. Saint Louis after the riots in 68. We had to work the grave yard shift to work around the daytime traffic. My friends Smith and Wesson rode shotgun every night,this was not a nice neighborhood. Their gun laws were the least of my worries and still are.

There is no law enforcement west of Hwy 67 (25 miles away) in our county so there is no danger with carrying a gun. The only time we have an officer out here is on Sunday afternoons when they are visiting the neighbors (2 retired officers)

We close on the house next Thursday (9/12). So we could probably have a gathering at my new place if there is enough interest... I think we should probably start by listing the dates that are already taken by other regional GTG's and pick a date there after.

I won't know any of the neighbors yet so a few weeks to get settled in and give them warning would be good... Also, clear some land for GTG space, and pour the slab in the shop would be preferable. I was thinking Oct. 12 or 26???

Just so we're all clear, I have NO time to drum up door prizes... This would be a simple gtg and the origional thought was to bring what you wouldn't mind trading (parts, saws, etc). All other saws welcome too... I'm sure Samtip could be persuaded to help drag in a few logs, but to keep things simple I wanted to focus on the swap meet aspect. Sitting around a fire with friends, and good FOOD of course!

Well we're kinda hitting that same wall or nobody in the Midwest is watching this thread. I honestly don't care if I have 5 guys or 50... It would be fun either way. I think mike and Shaun were going to come down and are the new place... Not to shove them into coming...

Should we start a list of people who do want to come and maybe txt the people not looking at this thread?
