[AT] PORTLAND CAMPING UPDATE

[Gene Dotson]

    Mike;
    That would be great. Keep us posted on what you come up with. I am sure we
will have a tractor to run it. Farmer plans to bring some belts.

: Gene,
:    I plan on being there Friday night.  Probably just be in a tent or sleep
: in the truck unless I can find a bed like last year.
:
:
: I could probably get access to a hammermill if you wanted, but it'd only be
: at the show on friday and saturday.  You'd have to find a tractor to run it.
:
: Farmer said something about ear corn, I might be able to arrange a couple
: hundred pounds of that too.  Not sure, though, I'll have to ask around.
