Sounds like a great idea - Sipsey is great by me.
I'll have to "pencil in" the dates right now. October 4 is the beginning of our Fall outage at the mill -- that weekend is tenuous for me.

WOW! That sounds familiar. I used to work in the James River Naheola paper mill at Pennington, AL. Since then it was bought out by GP and then bought out by Koch. We always had an annual outage and as the new guy I got to work the 12 hour night shifts. Fun, fun, fun. |

Yep... we have 2 outages per year, Spring and Fall (worst possible times if you want to enjoy the outdoors). Being in Process Control our work load increases around these outage times...

I feel your pain. I work in a plant making compressors for AC units. Every March through June/July I am forced to work overtime just about every weekend when I would rather be outdoors. well at least until the summer heat. This year we are launching a new compressor in the fall so I will most likely be working yep you guessed it more overtime. |

By the way we will be announcing what this years Karma Prize will be at this event. Only one person gets the Karma Prize per year and then everybody drops back down to zero for the new year so this will be a big one.

Well I can't make it now. My Cub Scout son has Cub Scout Advancement Day on Saturday for half of the day. He needs to be there for that so I guess we'll have to catch the next one.

you need to re-state on the Subject line where it is don't you gracious host? It took me a few minutes to find the location again.
I read Brushy Lake , which is east of the Sipsey Wilderness and east off of AL33, on a county or FS road in Bankhead N.F., right?
the calender doesn't state the place either without going back doing the same search.

Looks like a superb weekend for the Alatrails Birthday Weekend! Matt and I are really looking forward to it. Other than the fantastic Flem-fam is there anyone else we can expect to see either Friday or Saturday? We'd love to know what faces to be looking for |
