For us, all contingent on the vaccinations. I’m ‘essential’ (good thing my wife didn’t set that criteria ) but down in group 4 ... though might turn 65 in the interim and vault back up into group 2 ... we shall see ...

Sounds good bud. We will only have this if we can do it safely. If not we'll try again in the summer or fall

Totally agree with this. Really want to meet and get to know the folks behind the avatars and great cooks on here. But we for sure want to do it safely.

I wouldn't miss this one for anything Jake. I hope it works out. That hour drive may only take 30 minutes, with Hickory smoke pouring out of my car on the way there!

Yo Jake and Jim...any word yet on whether or not this is gonna happen? I've got the green light from Tracy to attend, just need to start dialing in the plans. We're a little over a month and a half away at this point and lots of options to explore if y'all decide it's safe to make a go of it.

You're welcome to camp on my property or you can check this place out. Me and emily camp here often. Campsites are private and right on the banks of the red river. 20min from my house. They also rent kayaks and canoe's. If you think you'll make it comment on Roberts post so I can get a good head count
