 We look forward to seeing all our old friends and making some new ones. If you've been a member forever or just joined today you are more than welcome to attend

The property is just outside of Quincy, Fl  just west of Tallahassee and just south of Bainbridge, Ga any and all are more than welcome. Its not a bad drive from a lot of places and is not far off of I-10. You can fly into Tallahassee and we can arrange pickup there. We will have camping on site we have lots of space for tents and have power and water for several RV's as well. There is a campground with cabins and many motels not far away I'll post some info about them soon. This property is out in the sticks but we do have water and power and a few other amenities the camp area is a couple acres of cleared land with some buildings. We have several pole barns and a building with a kitchen. Last year we had three large reverse flow smokers running with lots of food coming off them you won't go hungry we promise ya.

If you have any questions or need directions just send me a PM since RV sites here are limited please PM me to reserve one. We can do several thousand tents tho

Cabin $42.13 per night and that includes tax

30 amp RV site  $32.27 per night and that includes tax

I will be there for sure.. Might even bring my wife this year if I can talk her into it. Probably have to take her shopping in Tallahassee when it's all over or something

Anyway.. Looking really forward to seeing all of you and I sure hope we can talk some of you other home bodies into coming out as well. Jerry was not lying when he said he's got plenty of room and that you won't go hungry!

Fun! Fun! Fun!
 
I plan on having the Bubba in tow and headed east on the 12th. If I can score a case of turkey legs, how about that for some lunch time munchies?

Sounds good Tim hopefully we can get Raptor to drag his smoker over again too
 
Ok we had the S. Louisiana gathering which looked good and now the S.  Florida gathering is going on and hope it also is a good one...Soooooooooo WHY is it the OFFICIAL SMF N. FL. gathering. What makes this one so OFFICIAL over the other two ??????   Just wondering ????
 
Lots of factors are looked at such as consistency, growth rate, proximity to forum members, etc.. Last year was the first time that I helped to sponsor the N. Fl event.

Great question!
 
We were honored when Jeff asked and with his help we hope to keep them going and getting bigger and better every year. Hopefully this year we will again get people driving and flying in from all over the place to attend.
