OK it is on for Friday the 6th. Leave the lodge at 9:30 AM. Leave the chateau when ever you wish.
The trip down takes 2 to 2.50 hours. One can make it back on 64 to Franklin and then to the lodge on the main highway in about an hour. Leave at 4:00 and get back n time to meet incoming members at the lodge.
The day is free with a great meal and lovely view with a wonderful couple. Bring a token gift, wine, a local micro brew beer if you like.
If it rains on Friday then the whole thing will move to Saturday.
