Itineraries will be given out at the meeting spot the morning of the meeting. The only info I'm giving out ahead of time is that Marty's will be the last stop. & that is to help with carpool accommodations. (So you know 9&Kelly to start & 22& Hayes to end)

We drive to each stop, you can either find somebody ahead of time to carpool with, by posting a thread, or roll the dice & try at the meeting spot.

Is there anything that you'd like to bring? Maybe something that you guys make that's super good & you want everybody else to see how good it is?

Post by: jred on May 31, 2016, 07:14:54 PM: Are there going to be further details sent out to those who have signed up? I'm just wondering what time we are starting and the locations of all the tours. I'm trying to set up a fish pickup and unfortunately the seller can't come to the tour so trying to align it best as possible for him. Let me know, cheers.
