So far we have 20 males and 11 females. I didn't track a breakout on categories.
Email me, [email]2ifbyC@tampabay.rr.com[/email], and I'll send a Word doc copy of the complete spreadsheet. I'd post it here but the format isn't compatible.
But here is a list of OFC attendees that have responded:
War Eagle
2ifbyC
Trader Jim
Gman
CrimsonLake
g8r
jasingram
The Artist (AKA Richard)
Beggin
Jewel's Mom
Mauvais Beal
MusicMishka
BluesSailor
Tim in Tidewater
TRboy
TRgirl

After going back through the emails here's the best I could come up with:
5-7 young 'O's
5-6 'O' brides
plus several members unsure if they can make it
With C_L and Richard, we're up to 22 males (including the young 'O' males).
Sorry, that's the best info I have for now. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | The "Steely-Eyed Northern Girls" need some help (and not just because we're northern):
1. Cheryl and I were checking the maps on-line last night, and they sent us all different ways, most of which looked very aroundabout. We're coming down 81--how do we get from there to the directions beginning with "Head west on I-40 W"?
2. Also, up here we've been hearing about the gas shortages down South; how is it in your area, Keith? As much as we like the idea of visiting, we don't want to get there and get stuck! ;)
3. We're planning on stopping about halfway home and finishing on Monday; can anyone who's made the trip up and down recommend anything on or just off 81 in lower VA?
Thank you all for contributing to our safe arrival,
--Karen |

Pick up I-26 in western VA and follow to I-40 West. Gas is available in eastern TN and prices are dropping to around $3.25 for regular. Keith will have to chime in on western NC.
There are nice places to stay (Holiday Inn Express) in Woodstock, VA at exit 283 off I-81. Also, there is a Quality Inn at exit 264 in New Market,VA that should be comfortable, I used to live in Woodstock and work in New Market about 8 years ago. These suggestions will put you about 5 1/2 - 6 hrs up the road. I hope this helps.

Location: Marlton, NJ | Karen - I just sent you an email with a link to directions. I'm not sure where you're going to catch 81, but this'll get you the rest of the way.
We're driving down on thursday night and staying at a hotel a little over half way there. On Friday we're going to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville (the price I have to pay for the wife coming), which seems to be about an hour away from the compound. I can get you that hotel information too... Brad's hotel suggestions are good.
