Many thanks to Slayda for tracking down a couple of maps of the area. I may need my GPS for this trip.

what ??? geeks in the great outdoors ??? in the middle of nature ??? is that legal ?? well i suppose it's the perfect opportunity to impress each other with the stunning clarity of e-ink screens in full sunlight. no pointing and laughing at the lcd device users ; that's not nice.
have a great time y'all ! we want to hear all about it afterwards. |

I've changed the thread title to "Southeastern USA". Other countries have a "Southeast" too . Eg, if you use the term in the UK you're referring to the London area.

I'm bringing a giant crock pot of chili - so bring your appetites! Slayda, BookishDreamer, and I hope to hear from lots of you that you plan to meet us there. Just bring a dish or drinks and your various devices, and plan on spending a beautiful autumn day in the woods with us.
Families are of course welcome! OK, now, who's coming? |

'Course you can thank me for the excellent weather you will have had, due to hurricanes forming about five minutes after I touch dwon anywhere in the Caribbean any time during the season. We actually just talked about going to South Padre two weeks ago and see what happened? |

Crud! It's the wrong weekend for me to join you. I'll be in Atlanta the week of 3 November and then in Auburn for Homecoming the weekend of the 8th. If you had scheduled this meet-up for the 1st of November, I'd have joined you. Unfortunately, the 25th is the weekend before I have to be in Phenix and I think the commute might be just a bit too far!
You guys have lots of fun. Us Texans will have photos posted by the time you Sutherners gather. |
