OK, fellas...since the Falaise Gap event was a bust, next up for consideration is Liri...as of right now, my boys want to go, so I'm planning on being there this year.

Let's get the talk going about who's going and who's not.

Rob

I'm definitely gonna be there. This is the weekend before second semester starts.

Ray

Have you heard if Jim's going? I think Joe wants to go, and I know my guys do, too.

Rob

Hi guys, yes I will go. I know that Nick wants to go also if his leg heals in time -- he had surgery on it Monday and is hoping for a full recovery. Nick lives in Ocala so he is close and the guys from Palatka and Starke only have a one hour drive. So that part will be easy. Jim

Good to see you posting here, Jim!

Rob

I'll be there.

Joe.

Does anyone know if Greg, Steven, and the new guy (Steven's buddy) will be going?

Rob

Fellas...as of right now, it looks like I won't be able to go this year; I've got to take care of some pressing business that has crept up on me, before the new college year starts.

Drake, Mike and Cam are still planning on going, unless something changes....I'll keep you posted.

Rob

How many of you guys are actually spending the night at Liri? My fellas are trying to decide if to sleep at the site on Friday night, or stay with my brother (he lives in Ocala)....

Rob

I think I will drive back to Palatka each night, can't speak for Ray Minks but I think he will be staying with me. I believe that Greg and Steven parsons will be attending the event, but I do not know about Steven's frend Matt. Jim

Jim...if you can remember to bring it, Cam would like to borrow your 1903 Springfield for the event.

Rob

Is anyone planning on getting a hotel room for this event? I have reserved a room at the Residence Inn Ocala. I am willing to split the cost and share a room if anyone is interested. Let me know.

Joe....Drake and the guys are going down Friday afternoon to set up camp at Liri; it's supposed to be warmer Friday night and Saturday, so they are going to use shelters.
