Message: It’s cold here so I decided over the week-end that I am going to head south for a while, ending in Fla for a couple of weeks. The exact day of departure is still up in the air—either Wednesday or Thursday morning. My plans are to drive straight to Front Royal, Va and then meander parts of Va and N. Ca. I am close in 3 categories –Master Gold (30), 1x3 (22) and Bingo2 (9). I’ll be able to pick up a few in each category. After that my plan is to run much of the western part of S. Carolina, ending up near I95. At that point I’ll make a dash for Florida. I don’t have any specific plans on when I’ll put out counties in Fla but I’ll let the net know the day before. I hope to do county lines wherever possible, running 40, 20, 17 SSB. My return plans are up in the air but likely will do some of the eastern Alabama. I haven’t figured on when but on either down or back I will duck into Georgia to pick up 2 BIG holes I left last year in trying to finish up Transmit All Georgia.
