Clay, can I get my camper into your place? Our only issue will be toilets? Wasn't sure of the plan there. I'd just get a porta-shitter delivered at our place if we did that.

Yes you can it is up a hill to area in the back of the field, no water or electricity away from the house. If we go to your place are we bringing campers?
we are welcome to use our farm, it will just be boondocking.
We have room for multiple campers. At this point, it may just be you and I, which is no big deal. We could both use electricity and there's water there as well. Your place is closer to my house than Strouds which is super convenient for me given the need to run back and forth. I even have an event to attend on Wednesday in Middleport, so I'm good either way. If we stay at our place, it's 5 minutes to a DG, grocery store, gas station, etc. We'd also be able to shoot trap (I have 2 throwers), pistols, and long-range rifle. It's not Strouds, but we can also do things we can't do down there.
Total head count is like 10-15 max at this point?!?

Yea we have room to anything we want, even hunting lol.
Yes there are trees and I have several beds in the house if people need to stay there. I will bring my camper just for the camping experience.
we know Dustin and Dan are coming
I got an email back from Shelly, no fires confirmed. Im also good with either Jesses or Clays, so long as there is a shower nearby and I can bring my pup. And a fire.
Jesse is this the same place where my flag is flying? Time to replace it?

Same place where the flag previously flew (properly retired and needs replaced). You could shower in my camper at the farm since we have a grey water outlet and plenty of water. Can even run you to the house one day if need be.
As a person with a larger circumference, camper showers arent ideal lol. Ive got the flag covered. So do you want to tell Shelly or should I?
I do have an outdoor shower, so bring one of those pop-up shelters 
Seems like we're all in agreement not having a fire (mainly being somewhere it's sure to get enforced) is a deal breaker, so I say let her know. She may not like holding the cabin and us bailing, but it is what it is.

So being the distance it is between all the choices I hate to confirm I'm a no go.... this neighbor has pushed me to the edge today after spending an ass load of money this week on a survey and warnings and he still decided to piss me off for the last time. Left work early today and had three cops come trespass him and currently working on a case for indecent exposure to my wife and kids.. spent way to much money to move in a nice place to deal with this. I'm pissed and want to handle it my way but I'm stuck dealing with it in the way that keeps me home with my kids and wife. I wish we lived in older times to say the least ... at least before phones and cameras.... i cant be far from the house for awhile, I'm sorry fellas I'll see you guys this spring.

If only I could in the way that I know would work 100 percent... for now I have to play their cards on their time. I've put up 3 cameras today that are absolutely phenomenal I can't say enough good about them. I have 6 more of the new gens coming Friday. Amazon prime days couldn't have came at a better time. $470 marked down to $179. If any of you tech savy guys know of a system that I can put in the back that doesn't require wifi I'm all ears and would greatly appreciate it. If not I'm going to have to go buy my first trail camera ever..

I’m a stones throw from Strouds but just don’t have a footprint for more than 4 vehicles or I’d offer up my place. If some are still doing Strouds, I’ll definitely be out to visit.
Hey, Jesse, thanks for opening up your farm for our shindig. I would love to come over and help with that doe problem and share a camp fire with everyone. Even @"J". But family has surprised me with a trip to Kentucky. I am really sorry I'm going to miss it this year.
My gf and my two step kids organized a surprise bourbon trail trip for me this coming week. They were so proud of themselves!! It was quite the effort for all three of them to get time off approved and pay for flights. Heck, they've only been out of school a year now. So they are low on the totem pole when it comes to time off.
