I am a bit North....in LaGrange!
Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder's eye on the Last Day.

There are few others on here that live in Bloomington over to Cincy that would probably meet up at a central location.

That's how you get better faster with others sharing their knowledge. No worries, I teach so I'm in school through the week as well ;D Will keep you posted.

I might be going to beirnheim forest (sorry for misspell) tomorrow looking for branches and trees if I'm aloud to take a couple

Ask the property manager if you can cut something that is non native (like Osage ) or a nuisance species like black locust. Tell him what you're trying to do and maybe he'll help you out. Plenty of good wood in that area.

If anyone has suggestions on a meeting place that is agreeable , then load the tools, benches, wood and rock and make a day of it  ;)
