AC picnic

[daveedka]

We still need a location.....if you are offering to cook...where is good?

Of course I would root for columbus because that's home and easy to access not to mention easier to convince my wife. However in the interest of fairness, I would trust the cooker to travel anywhere in about a 300 mile radius of columbus Ohio. It doesn't currently have a liscence, but $10 is a whoopty do if I need to take it down the freeway. So whatever is decided if it's within 300 miles of Columbus, the offer on the cooker stands good.

So how big of a back yard do you have?

 

[reiverix]

For some reason Columbus sounds good to me also, but I'm not sure why

 

[nursie]

Funny how at happens.....
Any good parks?
Someone with a big back yard?
When is good?
I think local gatherings may be the way to start...somoene have one, whoever can get there does, and then someone in another location have one..
Indianpolis has a great park system, only from years of taking band kids there for a trip and killing time in various indy parks.

I am all for a middle TN area get together if there are others around in the area besides me. I am in Clarksville, 45 min north west of Nashville. laters

My husband goes to Tennesee 1-2 x per year for Civil war stuff. I might be interested if it was when one of the things he was going down for was going on.

 

[conbrio]

Does he ever do anything at Ft Donelson? They have Civil War things there several times a year I believe. And that is only 30 mins away from me. And there is Ft Defiance, I think that is what it is called about 5 mins from my house that is an old civil war place. Not much there just some grass and trees. From what I remember not a shot was fired there, just a fort along a river.

 

[nursie]

He mostly goes to Stones River. He is in the film they made for the visitors center there. He's going to Corinth Miss the end of Sept, and says he'll actually be over the border in Tenn.
He has several places in Kentucky he goes, too. He's there more that Tenn, but gets down there some. We were just talking the other day about touring sites in TN next summer.

 

[conbrio]

OK, quick story about the civil war and not about a picnic. This was told by an old professor of mine. Along the TN river one side, don't really remember what side thought, was surveying land for a fort. At the spot they decided on for the fort, they noticed white lines on all the trees at the same height. They did not know what it was, but they built the fort there anyways. Well a few months down the road they figured out what the lines on the trees were about when the whole area flooded.

I think its best to hold off on a picnic right now. The way gas prices are I dont think you will get a good turnout.
