I'm definitely interested. We're kind of booked through July though :wallbash:

Keep me in the loop on possible dates, and I'll do my best. Worst case, this is only about 2 hours from me, so it could easily be a day trip.

For me almost any weekend will work. It's only 45 minutes from my house so I may end up there some other times as well.

We're in a wedding near Toronto on 9/19, and work is looking like it may be crazy, but we don't know until we get some commitments from vendors. I'll just keep checking this thread and hoping things work out.

DCM lost her trailvoy in the divorce.

I have a wedding in a month and ZERO extra usable days off til late fall/winter. I will have to do some research of when I could make it. I am pretty sure Jully and August are booked. Got one thing in Sept and one in Oct, but may be able to slide something in there.

I would be interested in this trip! It would be a bit of a drive but I have family in MI not to far from Bundy Hill. I'm pretty much free any weekend. :cheers:

What am I, chopped liver?

I would be down for a September run if the dates work out.

Bit far away for a real commitment for me. I got several big things between now and sept.
