Good, because we were planning on doing it at your place!

I have no problem with that BUT I'm not sure my place is large enough.
Sorry, I meant to say your palace.
So far, this looks to be a fairly small gathering, which is fine, given the short notice to get Graham, Aitch, Darren, Steve, Diane (Joey, too), Dean, etc. to make it here. We had a small gathering for the first GF® but it was the cream of the crop.

John - If we make it in Cleveland - would you guys be okay with such a long drive? you can drive up to Milford and we'll take a car from my in-laws and I'll drive the rest of the way.
Gil, having had a daughter playing Volleyball for 3 years to put herself through college in Erie PA (you go through Cleveland) and going almost every weekend from late August through December, Cleveland would be a short hop.

Carpooling would give us time to visit, so a good option.

But it would be in or near SE Michigan.
Unless we want to do Kalamazoo and draw from Chicago.

Can we get a tour of The Heritage factory?
We can all bring our Ricks for them to admire.

I believe they only tour on Wednesdays, but I could check and ask. I'd think it highly unlikely, being none of us are famous or even own a Heritage....

Hehe

3 hours for me means driving to the furthest point possible in Israel, 6 hours means driving the entire country from north to south with some spare time for a few stopovers.
I just looked at the map, doesn't look lime Milford is "on the way" as I thought it would be...

Edit: I could probably do it in the weekend of the 24th/25th as well (I'll know tomorrow), John: are you still unavailable during this weekend?

Gil, yes, we have my daughter from Arizona coming that weekend (24-25th). Erie was a 6 hour drive from our house. Glad those days are over.

No problem, we'll try to make on Oct 1st or 2nd. I am still not really sure I could make on the 24-25 at all...

Awesome, Ken! These were masterpieces, I still have the one you gave me safely stored.
