instructor weekend off

it's time for a weekend off. As instructors we give a lot of time to the program. It's time we take a weekend to ourselves. I checked the Florida schedeule and found ONE weekend this year that has no event scheduled, October 27th and 28th.
This October 27th at the Gwin Farm in Ocala, Fl. we will be holding an event just for instructors. An event just for instructors to spend some time together around a fire and on a line. No students, no instructing, just appleseeders.
The date is set. PM me if you want to go.
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

The weather should be great for camping at the end of October!  Count me in!  Are we talking Saturday only, or all weekend?
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains." - Patrick Henry

The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

"In the prevailing political theory of the founding era, the family was considered one of the essential pillars of republican virtue, and it not only needed to be nurtured, but also protected from the tyranny of the government.... American revolutionaries and their descendants understood marriage and the family to be schools of republican virtue. -Mary Lyndon Shanley, Review Essay, 27 Law & Soc. Inq. 923,

I would recommend we keep this as a non-Appleseeds event, accepting all the liabilities therein. The Gwinn's are some of the nicest folk I have ever met and they are opening their home to us.

ok. it's been a while since I've been on the forum.
To confirm, the event is on. We will all be camping. If you have a camper, there is space to park it.
We have just a few weeks left untill the event and I need a head count.
We are going to, at the suggestion of PHenry, keep this an unofficial event. There will be no place to sign up officially, which means you need to let me know if you plan to attend.

and for those that do not know the farm, this will be a full distance, no AQT event. There will be steels. There will be competition. There may be some wagering and prizes to be had.

Second on the question from TheMenace -  Family affair?  We'll be in the RV, of course.

Teardrop Trailer or Hammock ?
Also Food ? Out to dinner or are Smoak and I cooking ? I don't mind either way just thinking logistics.

this is a remote location. no hook up for campers, no running water. no place nearby for food. prepare to be self sustaining for the weekend. We will do some kind of group meal saturday night
