Now that I see my calendar and see that I've got to drive back to school between the 14th and 16th, since school starts again on the 17th, I might swing by, but it depends on the day that I'm leaving.

Since the at-the-door prices are... on the high side (in my opinion), what does membership to the club run? If it's not much more than the entry, I'd just register as a member of SWFMAS.

Thanks for inviting us east-coasters!

Interesting, so it really is less expensive to just become a member... If I were in the area more, I would consider it, but even when I drive to Tallahassee once a month, the furthest west I go is the turnpike. Takes too long to take 75 the whole way.

We're right off I-75 around mile marker 130-140 ... ~20-30 miles after you get off the Alley.
Usually takes me ~ 1 1/2 hours to come over to you guys.
