Wow, I thought I was one of the few that knows about Thief River Falls, MN. I don't hear that town's name too often, anymore. My grandparents homesteaded a little away from there over 100 years ago outside of Roseau, MN. The stories I heard growing up included stories about trips to the "big city" of Thief River Falls. Oh well, that's the past. Please wave "hi" to the countryside for this fellow SKP. Thanks.

Jamey, Thanks for the offer. That's very nice of you to extend it. Right now it'll be best for us to stay put. The house should be completed within the month and we're used to the roads for all the different things we need to get done right now. Between appointments, we'd look forward to stopping by and saying "hi." I have a good idea right where you are located by your directions. It sounds like you're down the street from the Cracker Barrel in Flat Rock. Again, thanks and we'll drop by.

Steve, I sent you a Private Topic w/ my phone # in it. Talk w/ you later. Garth

Merrill, It's different now. There's maybe 8 rigs in the park tonight. Myself, six nice folks, and one guy that seems to be trying to sell me property in Mexico. When we arrived last month, the owners tried to get us to take a work camping position. We turned it down because we didn't want it to get in the way of our house stuff. Maybe I should have taken it . . . naaaaaah. BTW, I haven't seen anyone new in the office, so maybe the position is still there . . . if anyone wants to follow-up on it. There doesn't seem to be much to do, although the weather will be a little cold in the next month or so.

If anyone is stopping in Asheville, NC, in the Western North Carolina mountains, enroute to warmer climates, feel free to say "hi." We're at the Bear Creek RV park at I40-I26. It seems that the park is clearing out and we're one of the few foolish people left waiting for winter to arrive. It's getting kinda' lonely around here. See ya'.
