Four way with a stop light, Wawa mini market on the left. (it think 
it's a Wawa)

There has not been an admission before but the mailing I got said 
"admission by donation". There was a parking charge but is was a 
couple bucks. I usually hit the farm first (morning) so I can wander 
around the field. James has some ncie stuff for sale at his stand.

I haven't heard. Some of us have exchanged photos so we 
recognize each othe. I figure that I will wear my t-shirt from my 
boomerang business/hobby. I am pretty sure no one else will have 
one on and it will make it easier to recognize me. For a look, try 
this url:

I am in the photos near the bottom of the page.

I stuffed some Arledge chiles with feta, fontina, cream cheese and 
herbs and tossed them in the smoker on sunday, I'll bring them 
along. I also smoked a pan of orange habs and dried them. (plus I 
made a brisket for dinner).
