Absolutely no driving, there will be a bus for those of us who will need it. Will try to post pics, but my skill at that is less than desirable.

Hey, that's only 12 miles from my house! Maybe I'll just take a run up and walk around the outside of the Barn in my kilt and see if I get invited in!

I am sure that can be arranged, if you see a fat guy with a beard in a kilt, that would be me. I would be more than happy to introduce you to the father of the bride who got me started in this stuff in the first place.

Hugh,
Hello and welcome to the boards. Though I live in Canton, OH. now (a drinking town with a football problem) I grew up in NW Illinois and ventured often to Des Moines, where my Scots relatives (The Skinners) resided. I also have fond memories of Ames, Sioux City and Council Bluffs as well.
Again, welcome and enjoy!

I signed on a couple of days ago and am having a hoot with this site. Was going to use FNG from Iowa - Army slang - for the title, but wasn't sure if i would get banned before i even got started. Anyway, it is great reading all these wonderful posts and making the acquaintance of some very helpful folks.
I sent the website for this wonderful forum to all my SAMS compatriots so hopefully we will get an influx of new members.

Why would that get you banned. All of we veterans, no matter which service, know that means fairly new guy.. Welcome to Xmarks.

[Moosehead]

know that means fairly new guy..

hehe...yeah, right.

Heck I a former Air Force guy, and I know what FNG means.
