OPE Forum Meet and Greet
Original Message Jul 21, 2005 3:24 pm

So, who is intersete in a little get together to put faces to names, shoot the breeze, or whatever you do.

I realize this is a International forum, and not everybody can come. it seems we have a Higher concentration of members in the New England States. I know we also have 2 Moderators in N.E.

So whoever is interested, post away and lets find out if this is possible.

PS, Moderators, can this be pinned at the top for a while??

Thanks for the compliment Frank. We could have a camp out. Everybody would have to drive their OPE here though and we could have competitions. Tractor races, grass trimmer relays, Blower power pushes, and log cutting speed races. October would be good cause then I'd be set for the winter. LOL

Good idea Mountainman. I remember when I first got on AOL and was a regular in the Scranton, PA. chat room. We finally had a party at a grove that was right over the hill from my house. That chat room buzzed for days after that party. I won't get into specifics though. Use your imagination.

Hi...

I like this get-together idea...!

I'll offer my places too... On city lot here in west-central CT... small...would work though... enough room for several tents...

Also have ~~3 clear, mowed field acres in near Rutland VT... 1-bed camper... running water... grill... but no proper bathroom facilities... (that dosen't stop me!)...

Check it out on mapping software...

Maybe we can locate a campground / motel somewhere in a better location ???

I don't know if I'd want to be around Chief Ungabunga too much. I wouldn't want to end up like his SIL's. Might be fine for you guys, but what about the women of this place?
