Hey Strictly Classical! How YOU doin'? (Once you get to know me, you'll laugh at that - I'm a Jersey Girl transplanted south)
I've been to both the Lighten Up Latta shows and Gone to Ground, and they are both wonderful. I plan on doing as many of them this year as my budget allows. With the diesel fuel prices through the roof, the recognized shows are a big dent in the investment portfolio (note: I'm not trying to brag about money, but pointing out the fact that it's gotten so expensive to trailer that you NEED to hit up the mutual funds to get there!!

)
I will also be trying the Ark series, since Ms. Heather has always talked about them. FYI - I am willing to share my trailer if anyone is interested in doing so to cut fuel costs. I'm fairly new to trailering but have got that "forward" part down pat, it's the reverse and tucking trailers into tight spaces that I need practice with (that's where Gone to Ground is a GREAT place to go - PLENTY of room to turn rigs!!!))
Since I'm fairly new to NC (less than 2 years), I don't know where you're located, but I'm in the Rowan/Iradell County area.
