I was really contemplating going but it's pretty far away from everything ( airports ). I was hoping it was closer to WV and I could use it as an excuse to visit relatives around Moundsville and in Wetzel county.

Noxen is 29 miles from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (albeit not a super large airport).

Then I'd have to rent a car so it would put me out like around $1000+. Well and if there is bourbon around, I'd be kicked off the forum

Maybe you and Keith Nystrom can work something out. He is flying in to WB Scranton airport from MN also. Just a thought.

The closest hotel would be the Hampton Inn in Tunkhannock. It is roughly a half hour away from the cabin. There is still room in the cabin for those looking to stay. The cabin is not your typical cabin. It has all the essentials of home except for the bunk beds. But they arent that bad. Fully functional bathrooms with showers and cable tv. Its a beautiful place, the guys can vouch for that.

The cabin is nice, the company excellent. I didn't stay overnight the last time I attended but I live an hour away and enjoy the company of my wife at night rather then a bunch of old guys.

That's funny. Most of us would rather have the company of a bunch of old guys than our wives! LOL (Just for a weekend of course) And if you tell my wife I said that I'll deny it.

Most of the old guys are asleep by 11PM and miss the really deep meaningful conversations.

BWI and Hagerstown.. My BIL gets a round trip from Hagerstown to Myrtle beach for $99.If you could get a flight into either one of those, we can pick you up, put you up for a night, and ride up with us. Same on return.

Carolyn ain't feared of no axe murderer. She has her own axe.

I knew that collection hanging on the wall in the basement wasn't for looks.
Lucky I made it out alive.

Roy just seems to have stories form around him. My wife says one of these days I'm going to invite some stranger home and he's going to be an axe murderer. I often learn people's first names and don't bother with the last. The friend that made that custom, octagonal handle on the Plumb double's name is Clarence. He happened to drop it off on Valentines day, so that was Carolyn's gift. She said, "does this axe murderer have a name?" I said, "Yes, Clarence". She said, "Hi, Clarence." Then she looked at me and said, "Does Clarence the axe murderer have a last lame?" I realized I didn't know his last name and blurted out, Clarence Multifacted." That's his screen name. Sooo, when Roy came over she said, "Does this axe murderer have a name?" I said, "Yes, this is Roy, he doesn't use axes he has guns." I think she just cracked up laughing after that. But, that's the short and long of it. I did pick up another double today. It's an early Keen Kutter in mint condition.

You guys crack me up! Sounds like it will be a great time. Wish I could be there and put faces with the names. There ought to be enough people on the west coast to have a get together. I nominate Fireball to ramrod it.
