Jim and I cut some seasoned white oak Saturday and delivered two truck loads to the site. Jim and I split some and stacked it. If you intend to burn this wood I would bring a small ax etc to further split the quarters we have already done. I have a maul for use also. I will deliver some more wood this week and continue to split it. Man is it hot out there.
At $4.66 a gallon here it will be a while before I cut the field again. I will probably do it on the 30th of Sept or the 1st of Oct. It should be OK . For anyone who wishes to come and camp early and get a spot, I will be there from Sept. 30th on. Just let me know you are comming before hand so I can expect you. You can call my home 1 336 562 3700 and leave a message. The signs will not be out in position until the morning of October 2ed.
Eddie I am hoping to make it down between the 21 of Sept and be back here by the 28th. I am trying to close on a house in the north Tampa area and to coordinate this thing. If you have any Coral you could share with the guys I can bring it back with me in the truck to save you space. ;D ;D ::) You do not even have to bring a tent with you as I have two of them. All you need is your mattress and sleeping bags. Could be cool at night. Just let me know. I will have the tents there anyway. BTW, it takes me 9 hours to get from "Deltona" to here. Well that is all for now. Only 18 days left.

Two weeks from today! I'm working on the signs again tomorrow, they should be done by Sunday. I am heading out to the Site to teach a little knapping on Sunday morning, then split more wood. Dick said he cut & delivered some more wood there this week. He also said there has been a pit dug to bury the debitage we create. They worked on the road and filled in the ditch so there is now an "IN" and an "OUT" route so all the traffic doesn't have to share one dirt road.
We're heading to the home stretch.

Well it is Sunday morning and it was 54 degrees at 5 am. I would bring some warm sleeping "stuff" as it is getting quite chilly in the late evening and early morning. Great sleeping weather.
We will cut and will split more wood today and "maybe" mow the promenade again. I used the back hoe and I dug a pit to bury the debre from flint knapping. Its funny but maybe 10,000 years from now we will confound archaeologists with this site and dig. ??? Maybe we should put in a time capsule with all of our names. ;D
I may be in Florida from the 23ed this week to the 28th. Need to finish some business. Remember if you have a folding table and a canopy you can easily bring, bring it. If you have any table covers do the same. We would need to cover any tables with "stuff" on them over night to keep the dew off, and there is a lot of dew at this time of the year.
Well as Jim said, 12 days to go. People sure excited about this as I am getting email Daly. Still looking for a blacksmith to honor us with his presence.

Dick, I'm out of coral and most other rock. I've been gone too much to get any.And it looks like we might be playing tag again. I'm trying to work it out so I can make it to So. Carolina next weekend. Are you going to live in that house in Lutz?
DBernier:
Hi Eddie. No we are not going to "live" there. My mother and youngest son will stay there. Too bad about the "coral". :'( I will be spending some "time" down there. Maybe we can go hunt some up. Well the plan is I will be in Deltona next weekend and be home by no later than Sunday night. Need a days rest before setting up the tents, canopy's and my camper etc. Looks like a boat load of people are going to come "on over". Hope so. Jim and I have worked hard getting the area ready.
Well South Carolina is only one state away. Hope you can make it over to the event. We spent half a day yesterday chain sawing, splitting wood, mowing and cutting small tree stumps to ground level. Site should be in ex. ++++ condition. Later.
Dick, your benevolent dictator >:D
