Looking forward to it as always! Tony and I have sites 49 and 50 reserved and Tony also has 47 I believe for anyone else making the trip. Looking forward to a nice, easy going weekend at the campgrounds.
 
I've got site 48. Looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing a beverage or two.

Just bought tickets. Like others have said, this is totally worth looking at flying! I get into Atlanta at 8:00 on Thursday evening and leave around 4:00 on Sunday if anyone out there is looking for a ride from the airport to Trackrock.

BTW, does anyone know if there will be an Atlas Mini Forge there there for me to see? I need to make or buy a new forge since I scrapped the old one when we moved as it had some issues.

Okay, so this is definitely on my radar this year! May the the calendar Gods be kind.
 
Every year I get jealous when I hear about this event. If I still lived in NC, I would be there.

It may not be the correct number. I thought it was a spot farther away. I have to call them in the morning. I promised Mistwalker a spot, but if he wants to double up in the compound, then my other spot is yours. Otherwise I'll make space for you next to my tent in the compound. Either way, I've got you covered. I'll update you as soon as I hear from Brian.

We got lots of room Swo, and plenty of gear so you don't have to take any on the plane. Come on down to Area 51. I have a spot for you by the fire.

And I sent a message to Brian as well. Between Justin, Brian, and myself...you know we've got you covered.
 
Hey, maybe we can get that late winter snow again......Had one in early April once, way back around the 4th event. 4" of pure white carpet and a full moon. We forged all night with the big batwing doors to the barn wide open....man it was really something!

Not trying to scare anyone off, it's not likely, but with all this global warming crap you never know. Game on no matter what.
