Wade, Pat, when and where are yall leaving from, if you dont mind me asking?

[criveraville]

I NEED HELP!!!!!  I am set to go But my wife is hesitant to let "her baby boy" go.. How do I convince her to let him go? 

Also I will be taking my 94 Camry instead of the mini van small utility trailer, so I wont be able to bring cooking wood.  The good thing is that the Camry is cheaper on gas...  I just love that car.  I bought it for 2K, has 224,000 miles and drives like a dream....

It is the best kind of car to have which is a paid for car

Anyway, that is my dilemma.. Help if you can

[BearG]

Tell her I said to let him go.  
Just tell her he will have the time of his life and meet a lot of new friends.  It is the perfect place to bring a young man or lady.
As far as wood, Pappy haas plenty of wood, not apple, or peacan, but oak and som hickory normally.

I second what Bear said this is the kind of place where a kid can have a ball. You don't have to worry about them everyone in camp will help keep an eye on him. Ron

Bring the wife as well.

Tell her that we all just turn our kids loose and let them go feral for a few days.  It is good for them.
They gather up in packs and just run wherever they please. Rain or Shine.

When we first started going to the Classic I had the same such worries concerning my son who was about 10 at the time.  He is now 17.  I thought I had to know where he was at all times.  I was wrong.  After a while he had made friends with a bunch of other kids and they were doing their on thing.  Nothing has ever happened. NEVER.  The kids do not get out of eye shot of groups of adults very often.  And, they stay in their packs.

Being a couple of extra pairs of shoes and socks.  They tend to find themselves in the creek fairly often.

Looks like I may be sitting this one out.  My wife and I had planned to take our boys down to FL to watch the shuttle launch on the 19th, but that's now been moved to the 29th.  Maybe I'll see some of ya'll up at Pat's.

I'm currently lobbying for ya via text as we speak. I can do that kinda stuff since she's my sister. But.............I do understand completely about not wanting her to go alone.
