Thanks to a fellow chile-head bennefactor, I am going to be able to attend. It looks like the weather should be downright marvelous, and I plan to camp in Clifty Falls state park, which is just west of Madison a couple of miles. There are entrances to Clifty Falls from both 56 and 62, it's pretty hard to miss. I've not camped there before, but know they have both class A and class C sites - so they probably have a shower for fothe class C folks (that'll be where I camp...) Right now I'm not sure how early I'll be able to get there for the hotluck - hafta see how quickly I can get out of work. But I intend to get down there, picth the tent, then go to the hotluck, camp friday night, then go to the fiery foods show saturday, then hike saturday afternoon, camp saturday night, and do some more hiking sunday morning. Clifty falls has some really nice trails, though my favorite runs down the middle of the creek bed, and is likely to be unuseable due to high water. Anyway, I plan to call and make reservations and get an idea on how the campground is situated, and will write back to the list with more solid plans, in case any other chile heads plan on camping. Anywho, the hotluck is April 5 (friday), beginning at 6:00, and the Fiery Foods Show is Saturday. Both are at the Thomas Family Winery on 2nd st. in Madison. 1-800-948-8466 -- Chad Gard, KB9WXQ INCHASE: http://www.inchase.org Co-founder SCOA: http://www.stormchasersofamerica.org Member #3 INSWA: http://www.insw.org Unit #21
