Am I going to be the sole Islander at Deerfield

AGAIN?????

F'ing SUPER hamfest. Lots and lots and lots of goodies, good times, great friendly hams. IMHO, a lot more fun than Dayton.

To begin with, Dayton's in OH...'nuff said.

For Dayton, you HAVE to book a room or (maybe -- if you don't get busted by the gendarmes) sleep in your car.

At Deerfield, you camp (if you want to) right there, anywhere.)

The flea market is "generally" equivalent. No, it's not the huge Collins and Drake get-together as Dayton, but the vintage stuff is always there in abundance.

C'mon up to New Hampshire. You won't regret it.

You must be afraid, sole.

Now you've made me hungry for Filet of Sole Claudine. Filets rolled in lettuce in a sauce of white wine and cream with a julienne of carrots, mushrooms, and shallots. Mmmmmmmmmmm.......

653 miles, over a 12 hour drive. I'd love to see New Hampshire again, but that's a trip that's gonna require planning!

Even Paul, N1LAF, is 3 hours out. I guess the closet I've ever been was when I was in Londonderry a few years (almost 10, now) back. It's very pretty up there. You folks landscape around the rocks (boulders) in your front yards. Impressed the hell outta me!

That a 6200 mile round trip. For what it would cost me in gas alone I could almost buy a brand new IC-7000.

AFAIC, you will. :neener:

I don't do hamfests. :hand:

This is not the original Deerfield that was actually at "Hosstraders at Deerfield" where many of the famous AM'ers camped out, got stoned, enjoyed great food, and operated "piss weak little mobile" from the campsite. This is at a different location from what I understand. But its still Hosstraders and still in NH and still worth a trip and many of the AM Greats still make this one. I'd love to go but unfortunately I can't get away from here right now.

"Deerfield (aka Hosstraders) is not a hamfest. It's an experience.

So is Dayton (or so I hear) and I have no plans to attend that hamfest either. :hand:
