Any interest in a west Tennessee get together? Options

[IronHillRestorations]

For years I've thought about hosting a get together at my place.

My shop is adequate for a tech session.

The biggest problem is accommodations, we have a couple of motels here but I haven't checked them out in years.

I have a place that could work for a BYO gathering place.

Time frame is very open, but would be cool weather (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I am halfway between Memphis and Nashville, in Parsons TN.

Oscar, you could do the I40 boogie, and just turn right at exit ##126 in TN and go about 15 miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Where are you in TN JT?

Tom, Jackson is where we go for Lowe's, Kroger, Sam's Club, etc. My kids take music lessons at a college there as well. If your daughter is used to a big city, there will be culture shock, but cost of living is much lower and there's no state income tax.

Perry,

Her hubby is in hotel management, so has moved around since they got married, 2011 to Ahseville NC, then 2014 to Charlottesville VA, & now to Jackson TN - so they've been "decompressing" from San Diego & Orange County here in SoCal. She grew up in OC then went to college in San Diego & lived there a few years after, he grew up in San Diego/Coronado/El Cajon - so it was big city-ish.

She also grew up with annual trips to visit family in Little Rock, Indy surrounds, plus Tahlequah & Sallisaw OK for our Cherokee ceremonies & events, so she's liked living in the old Cherokee Country in NC & VA, but she'll be in the W. TN Chickasaw homelands area now, but still close to Cherokee country.

They moved because they wanted to get away from the mayhem, & actually spent their honeymoon in Nov. 2010 looking at TX, TN, VA, NC, SC & GA as alternative places.

I don't know if Jackson will be too much culture shock, but Memphis & Nashville are close enough to escape "island fever" if needed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

They hadn't found a reasonably priced home to buy in Charlottesville (almost SoCal prices there) & rented a house instead, so they're looking forward to buying again.

Anyhoo, it sounds like I can drive over to your place for the gathering, if the timing works out with my schedule, which I don't know yet. I have to go to Chicago & Tulsa/Sallisaw & maybe some other stops that biz trip.

PS - I'd probably be driving some rental minivan so there's room for me, wife, them & Grandson - but doubt that they'd all want to come to a car thing anyway.
