I'll see you there! Can't wait. 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I’ll be there for sure. Let me know if there are experienced climbers that need gear, like saddles and ropes. I can bring extra from the TCI school. I can also bring extra Treeboats.

TCI will have it’s new (used) minivan by then. I can take an extra rider or two from Atlanta.

It sounds like 200 foot ropes need to be used for some of the high climbs. SRT gear is an option too, right? Then you can get away with shorter ropes.

About costs: If you are cutting it near the edge with costs you might think of asking a bit more or asking for donations to help with the funding. I know it goes above your grain in that you already set a price but prices do not always have to be set in stone, especially if your initial estimate of costs did not work out. I believe most of us recreational tree climbers do not live on the borderline. Charge what you need to make it work- that is my opinion. What does everyone else think about this?

About the food: we might want to talk here about who is going to bring what to the pot luck dinner. Imagine- everyone shows up with desert.

What are the weather patterns that time of year? Does it rain or storm? What are the temperature extremes? What can we expect? Is there a covered building if we get stuck in soggy weather?

  Then here's to the oak, the brave old oak,
       Who stands in his pride alone!
  And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
       When a hundred years are gone!
       --Henry Fothergill Chorley, "The Brave Old Oak"
