So it was settled at the meeting that a contingent is heading to Devil's Backbone on the January 23 to scope the property? I'm in if that is correct.

It's 20 minutes from my brother in laws whiskey distillery in Nelson County. Virginia Distilery Company. Beautiful place. DB is pretty cool. Been there often. It's become much more popular with more traffic coming through. It's also a big stopping point for AT through hikers during those months.
I may me in for some mild wheeling if I can get off for a few days. I could bring the fam and drop them off at my father in laws place and go maybe. I should get my sliders installed first. I ordered my rear brakes and rotors from beno today so after I do that and the rear bearings I should be good.
Cool....
FYI - DB often provides a place to camp for events.

I think that is part of the reason for heading down there -- to check out the property as a suitable site for the swap meet.
Good call Bart. That was a clearly the case that a thread was spinning off the mark. I can't do the 23rd but can do the following weekend. Either way, the purpose here is to scout out the venue and examine logistics as a prospective location for swap meet. Also check out local camping and size up the place for a long term relationship as our event growsin the future.

That'd be sweet. It's close by (me) and I have tons of stuff to swap!! I've been to a couple events there. Lots of space. And there is booze... if you are into that sort of thing.
My family will be touring UVA from 10:00-1:00 what time was every one looking to be there?

Right now they are calling for 4-8 inches of snow. That does not sound like the best weather to be checking out their property.
.......at least there'll still be beer
Ya makes for a long drive.

BK posted this on Facebook. Looks like a tad more snow at Devil's Backbone:

Wait, what am I looking at.....? I certainly ain't no weather man, but does that say we are going to get 30 inches of snow...? I have to be wrong... centimeters?
