Location: Orange County, California | well, The time off work is secured. I didn't even have to claim it as a religious retreat. We're staying (mostly) at my father in law's in Irving, and bringing the Fids. (feathered Kids for those who don't know bird-speak). The Baby may be weaned by them as she's really on one feeding a day now, and flying.... So, what's the schedule for Sat-Sun? |

Location: Fort Worth, Texas | Hey, that's great! Saturday we'll be having the "official" meeting of the OFC....
Basically to get a time when everyone from the OFC will be there and get some photos, play each other's instruments (Craig, Collectors and Mandolin!! :D ). etc.
I'll be checking with everyone to make sure the time is OK, right now it's 2:00-4:00. (I need to check to see what time Noel needs to leave...)
Then we'll have some schedulded performances in the Music Hall and then more informal picking and grinning.
Sunday is pretty much informal....
I'll e-mail everyone who so far has RSVP early next week with all the current info.
Thanks! |

Location: Fort Worth, Texas | Made a quick trip down to "Old Magnolia Town" today. I'll get an e-mail out to everyone who has RSVP'd so far.
Here's a link to some lodging options:
Palestine Lodging
You'll see several with addresses on Palestine Ave, that IS Highway 79 if that helps...
I haven't talked to any of the hotels yet. My family will be staying in Old Magnolia Town, if you're up for camping type accommodations, there is plenty of room for tents...
Be looking for my e-mail. My cousins are real excited to be having us there!! |

Here's some precise directions to Old Magnolia Town.

Old Magnolia Town is 3.6 miles from the Palestine city limits, just outside Tucker.
At the junction of 79 and FM 645 are flashing yellow lights, OMT is 1.6 miles from here.
You'll turn right into the property.
The mailbox is painted like a Texas Flag.
If you get to Long Lake, you went to far.
From Fort Worth and points west:
Take Highway 287 South from Fort Worth.
At Ennis take Interstate 45 south.
At Corsicana take 287 South, Palestine exit.
If you are heading straight to Old Magnolia Town you can take FM 645 through Tennessee Colony.
FM 645 ends at Highway 79, turn right.
Old Magnolia Town is 1.6 miles on the right.
Mailbox is painted like a Texas flag.
If you are heading to hotels, etc. in Palestine keep going on 287 and see directions from Palestine above.
From Dallas and points north:
Take Interstate 45 south to Corsicana.
At Corsicana take 287 South, Palestine exit.
If you are heading straight to Old Magnolia Town you can take FM 645 through Tennessee Colony.
FM 645 ends at Highway 79, turn right.
Old Magnolia Town is 1.6 miles on the right.
Mailbox is painted like a Texas flag.
If you are heading to hotels, etc. in Palestine keep going on 287 (instead of taking FM 645) and see directions from Palestine above.
From Austin and points south:
Take Interstate 35 to Round Rock.
Take Highway 79 north.
Old Magnolia town will be on the left a few miles outside Long Lake.
Mailbox is painted like a Texas flag.

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | How about directions from Anchorage, Alaska? Oh wait a minute... With the price of gas, and the way my F-250 V-10 eats it, I don't think I'll be able to make this year. The rest of you have a great time and be safe. |

Head DUE SouthEast till you hit the NEXT biggest state.
Shouldn't be TOO bad on gas . . . from looking at the map, it all looks "downhill" . . . |

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Texas would be our third largest state if we cut Alaska in half!!! Downhill? Why didn't I think of that? Oh wait. That would mean it's all uphill coming back. Never mind... |
