Hey Sylvia, I also added a comment on the Conference listing on the home page about it, but if you also pop it up on the home page and here, even better yet! Thanks.

Yep, a discussion is best (I saw this right before sitting down to dinner then when I got back to my computer, Emily, Gina had already beat me to it. Damn she is a fast one!). I'll pop it up on the home page and in here.

Ok, thanks. I will get to it in just a bit. Your liner came in yesterday by the way. We'll have to figure out a time for you to come by. Looking forward to seeing you!

I guess as a discussion. Can't think of anything better at the moment.

It is more of an open tour route where attendees determine their own route and transportation. I think Rob Torcellini was going to start a thread here so that people could connect for rides, as some are renting cars and others aren't. I haven't seen one yet and haven't gotten around to it yet myself. I will set that up now and see if Sylvia can put it on the home page where it will be easy for attendees to find and connect. I'm pretty sure you will be able to hitch a ride Raychel! I too will be at my place for tours, so can't help out with rides. TC, do you think the best way to post this would just be as a discussion?

Hum, I expect they figured most people would have transportation seeing as it looks like they didn't set tracks where a group would be going from farm to farm all together.
Might need them to set up a ride share page where the people who are renting cars or who are local enough to have their cars might take on other tour goers doing the same rout.
I'm gonna be kinda stuck at home giving tours.

The question that I have is about the tour to the farms. Dop we have to rent a car ? Do you have transportation for that? IT is advertized as a tour but I don't see any details.

I don't know about the schedule (I've not signed up for any since I"ll have to be here to give tours at my place) But you can go Farm tours and click on the titles to get maps and info.

Lois and I purchased tickets to the confrence and the bus trip. We are so excited to be part of this - the 1st conference in Florida.
Question - if you signed up to tour the farms, is their some place I can go and print out the list/schedule?
