I would like to point out that Brodhead 2013 is now only 150 days away.Time to start planning routes and fuel stops, and dreaming of bratwursts.This should be an exceptionally good year, as we have a number of newPietenpols that should show up for the first time at Brodhead.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia________________________________________________________________________________

> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead>>> My family and I have decided to make a family trip to Brodhead thissummer. It has been recommended by many that I attend, and I can see howthe exposure would be an enormous help to my project, not to mention whatis sure to be some good ol camaraderie. It is on the calendar and I'vealready requested the time off. >> That being said, can someone help us to plan accordingly? I mean, we arepretty good planners, but we just don't know what to expect. We areplanning to drive up and tent camp and we plan to bring most of our normalcamping gear, to include food and the necessary equipment to prepare it,but we are unsure of other accommodations, such as water, electricity,showers, restrooms, etc. We are normally pretty flexible, but would preferto pack/plan accordingly. >> I've tried doing a search for "Brodhead", "Fly-In" and other key words...as you can imagine, I received tons of posts that may or may not have beenrelated to the actual event. I've also looked at the Chapter 431 and BPAsites, but I've been unable to gain much in the way of details... perhaps Ioverlooked the information. >> Any suggestions for us newbies?>> --------> Mark>>> Read this topic online here:>> http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
