[Fourlanders] September Contest & Me

[Paul Yeager]

Jim:

Elwood has a trailer.... if memory serves correctly, just a foot or two 
smaller than Robin's.

I mentioned his pickup-mounted camper not as an operating position, but 
because finding a place he could park it at no charge to him might be a 
nice "thank you" for allowing use of his trailer.

If you can get Robin's trailer at Huntsville, pleae get his tables, 
too.  One went unused in June, which I would love to use to cook on!

I expect to be at Shelby for some period of time TBD.  Probably at least on 
Saturday.

73,
Paul
