I hope the weather forecast looks better for this years Classic.  I think the weatherman scared a lot of people away last year.  The rain held off for the most part and it was a nice week to be camping.

I'm planning on making my first trip this year down with my six year old daughter. She loved Marshall last year and I'm sure she'll fit right in with the rest of the kids at the classic. Plus it'll be some good daddy-daughter time doing stuff she doesn't get to do in the suburbs

Good news, Paul!
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

That's great news Paul, I am sure she will fit right in also, bring her some old shoes, the creek just seems to draw the kids for some reason. ;) :) :)

I would love to be able to make it again this year, but I am happy to say that my wife and I are expecting our second child in April.  We are expecting a little boy this time! Our hands will be full for a couple months, but expect me to be there in the following years, hopefully accompanied by my  daughter and son.
Will miss you all and be thinking of you

Well.. the 11 hour drive has deterred me the last couple years but I'm gonna be there this year! Can't miss out on another TN Classic. One question: is there anywhere to use a hammock? I brought my sleeping hammock to MoJam a couple years ago and the poison ivy was a 5 foot tall blanket over everything near the camping area!  :o

PS: I want to apologize to Mike (Knoll) and Patrick (lebhuntfish) for promising to be at MoJam last year with lots of trade goodies and the Shaft Maker 2.0. I was in the middle of a long and unpleasant divorce from my ex wife who (secretly) hated my archery hunting, making, and travels... along with a pile of other deal-breakers hidden from me until later in the timeline. Missing the last MoJam to finish up that mess was the best thing that's ever happened to me! Haha!

There's plenty of places to set up a hammock, there's a big tree line behind the camp area. I've set one up there a few times.
