Fifedog, now you see why the pie is such a great idea!!!  It would cut down on the hot air, cure global warming, and make the world a safer place.

It sounds like a fun get-together and I wish I could attend.

However, I checked with Prattville Air Ways (Motto: "This Landing May be a Tad Rough") and was informed that the plane was needed for crop dusting duties that day. Also, the last passenger train through Prattville departed in 1967. (Continuing to keep this thread train-related . . . Whistling [:-^] )

Y'all have fun! Chief, make sure those Yankees don't try to eat peas with a knife! (Can't take some people anywhere!) Wink [;)]

John,

I have to compliment you on your meeting location.   With 8 of you, I'm certain that there will certainly be a  lot of "Bull" being thrown around, and I'm certain the crew there are experienced with bull.    And, then to have a Dr on site that is really well thought out.

Hope you all have a great time!  Dinner [dinner]

Here is a map, probably won't be to good at this resolution.  If you want the full file send me an email, address is in profile.

Note that there is no exit from 283 on Chambers Hill Road, if coming from the East on 283 you need to get off at the 441 exit.

Here is the address:

Doc Holliday's Steak House
469 Eisenhower Boulevard
Harrisburg, PA 17111

It is at the intersection of I-83 & I-283.  I think the exit from I-83 is 27, but that may be the old #. Will post a map shortly.  I reserved a table for 8, looks like that will be close, I,m sure we can add more if need be.

Only six more moons until the Gathering.  CHIEF will not only grace us with his presence, but will bring us milder temperatures when he comes.
