Deconfliction 2013

Shawn,

Listing this smaller events is really a service to anyone who may be planning a big event. Now days, with the price of gas and the economy, in general; if there is a conflict, people may well chose to go to the local events. I know, if I were planning a big event these days, I wouldn't want to dump it on top of two, or three local events.

In a perfect world, there'd be 104 weekends every year, but I'd bet there would still be conflicts!

We moved the date for the tactical to the 2nd Weekend of April to deconflict with the Mega Chancellorsville.

The web site will be up in a week or so

It is called

"In Hooker's Rear"

Pards,

Um, out of curiosity, is a zip code available for this? The only Whitehall PA that Mapquest shows is SW PA, near Pittsburgh.

Thanks,
Calum

Another event in SE Pennsylvania will be Camp Geiger, in Whitehall, PA. It's scheduled for the weekend of May 17-19. For those who haven't attended, it's an opportunity to spend the weekend living and fighting in 1864 style trenches. The event maxes out at about 200 people per side.

Pards,

Thank you Chris. That said, I note no information, other than the dates,and it is being put on by the Spotsavania commerce committee for the so-called mega Chancellorsville event. To me that says volumes.

"In Hooker's Rear", lol, better than "Up Hooker's Rear".

It's a suburb of Allentown, just N/NW of the city proper. Try 18052.

Calum,
Here is the website;

I can attest this is an excellent event with great mix of streamers to sleeping in the trenches.

Looks like some of us will be busy in April and May. The Anders' tactical April 12-14, Neshaminy April 19-21, Chancellorsville May 3-5, and Camp Geiger May 17-19. Four event in six weeks. I better start working on the Kitchen Passes now!

Another example of an obvious confliction.....sad.

Awful name, Chris. Just awful.

"Lee and Stonewall Do Hooker In The Woods" would even be less repugnant than "In Hooker's Rear".

Seriously, your kidding, right?
