Corrected directions
The directions posted earlier had an omission, this was due to a mistake on the website and not Silverwolf's fault. I am making this correction to help anyone who is going to the get together, I sure hope this helps.
State Highway 1B Exit 44 (Harrisburg Road) off US 63 Bypass, go south.
Turn right on Parker Rd. (this is the first street immediately after you leave hwy 63 on Harrisburg headed south).
Turn left (w) on (Culberhouse Rd.) SH 141.
State Highway 141 - (2) two miles turn left (s)
on Forest Park Drive.
Even though we can't make it
Even though we can't make it this year it sounds awesome. Is it something you do every year?
Blessings,

Hi W & S
I wanted to just take a second to answer you. I do not know but I sure would like to see it every year. If there is a good response to this one I am sure it will happen again.
