I'm driving from Mississippi, this'll be my first event. I haven't met another hobbyist in person yet so I'm excited.

I should get there shortly after they open tomorrow morning. The lodge has a great lunch menu, and tomorrow evening is their prime rib special.

Outstanding show, arrived just after the show opened yesterday and spent most of the day there.

 

[R Ellis]

Yes very nice I was only able to stay a couple of hours but was great and people were friendly

 

[1950DAVE]

3 hours slipped away in a few minutes.

 

[Fossilsn]

That was good show. A lot of cool firearms to see.

 

[FishDFly]

Some how "cool" does not fit the rifles there, maybe if you under 30 it might.

Everyone one there was old, grey headed and bearded, cool is not in their vocabulary.

 

[Nazgul58]

Spent all day Friday there. Well worth the time.
Stayed at the park, good food , friendly people.

Shiloh Battlefield is a little over an hour away. Spent Saturday there. Always wanted to see the Sunken Road and Hornets Nest. Very interesting and humbling.

Headed home this morning.

Cool was in their vocabulary when they were under 30. I doubt that cool would bring out their ire. One thing I didn't hear at the show was, smoke pole, though.

I thought the 2 Kibler Woods Runners I got to see in the white were pretty "cool", then again, I was 19 in 67 when I went off to the Army and the hippy movement was going strong in California but not around Ft Knox. It wasn't until I saw some "cool" crotch length miniskirts in England when I was working on a Huey at a small detachment at Burtonwood that I realized what was going on in the "world" and that I was missing out on it. I was stationed near Manheim Germany; the short skirts, hippies or "free love" hadn't gotten their before I left to go back home at the end of 69.

The word "cool" is ingrained in people my age, never to leave.
