Spent a week at the Bitterroot Ranch in 1974. Enjoyed some of the finest fishing I've ever had anywhere. Bayard Fox finally convinced us to try some riding, and it fantastic. Had never ridden anything other than trail horses before. Their horses were like sport cars!

I'm excited about this. I might actually be able to make this one!

Now the big question for me is who the music will be. I know it is way too early for that, but Bromberg is based in PA, I think, and it would be fantastic to have him play for us again.

Bromberg's in Delaware but it still would be good to have him back... Hall and Oates? from Philly!!

Ugh. Hall and Oates would be a disincentive to attend. I don't know where they're based now, but they used to live (separately) not far from me when I lived in CT. Bumped into Hall at my buddy's video store one day. Seriously uptight.

Mitch,

Hello from the Turbo Fluffy South Carolina chapter! I hope all is well! Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread! Bloomsburg sounds great! Much easier to travel to the right side of the country.

Would love to see James McMurtry inked.... Well within the budget and an amazing singer songwriter

There are at least 3 routes of twisty roads to get there and Hermy's BMW is just down the road.

Routing info is forthcoming, one route is lacking in part due to a bridge repair and I didn't want to sit in amusement park traffic.

There are a few other breweries within riding distance.

Plan to arrive early if you want to take the tour. if they are booked, you will not get in. Not sure if they take reservations or not.
