I'll just be going for the day. We should try and meet a specified time somewhere at the show. It's always nice to meet people that your talking to on line. Any ideas on where? Dick

Toxo buddy I would love to sponsor you but for two things.
1) I ain't rich (reason for camping over hotel)
2) You ain't 18

I'm not sure I'm even brave enough to go through with this on top of that. I would love to help you out but having a fifteen year old son myself I don't think I would let him run off camping with strange people with names like Chessbum if you catch my drift. Jack (Floxter) since you are over 18 you are welcome to join me if you would like as it looks like I will have extra room. Anyway I hope to see both you guys there at the Expo.

John, I'm so far over 18, that it's starting to come around for the second time. Thanks for the offer tho.

Dick, I'll probably be hanging around the Elite Arrows booth with my friend Paul Jalon. I think he might be handling the Shrew Bows booth for Ron LeClair.

I wonder if they would let me camp at the Kalamazoo Fairgrounds? I could be security. Tox, I've slept in cars,trucks and and the side of freeways so much when I was your age I grew to hate it. I even decided to go back to school and get edgicated so I never ever have to go hungry or sleep on pavement again. I once spent 20 hours on the entrance ramp to the Penn Turnpike hitch hiking with my two dogs. I was there so long I started recognizing people going back and forth to work but no one in there right mind would pick me up. I also got so hungry I tried eating the mutt's Purina (YUCK!). Finally I got a ride from a drunk demolitions expert and I got off at the Howard Johnson on the Pike. I also got so hungry I tried eating my mutt's Purina (yuck!). But the adventure still calls me back. I guess being a product of the sixties is why I enjoy trad bowhunting and playin Gypsy with my old trailer so much. I envie your spunk kid so don't give up getting to the Expo you'll find away. What about bringing one of the parents along for the weekend?

It's the only thing happenig this time of year. Cam, I'm kind of in the same boat as I just got back from two weeks in Texas, my wife is not to thrilled about me comming home with another &quot;great deal&quot; and my boss wants me to work every weekend. That's the main reason I'm camping (Economics 101)that weekend. If I save 80 bucks camping out and I happen to spend 400 bucks or possibly more at the expo I still saved 80 bucks. As far as I know there are still 139 open sites at Timberlake Campground you can read about the fun things availible at http://www.the-campground-network.co...Campground.htm

Dick,

When is it? Who's going? And do you have room in your trunk?
