I was thinking sometime in May then I got to thinking. With a lot of fingers crossed I will soon be moving South so I was wondering if you guys wanted to plan a meet up towards the end of May. I would say anytime in May but I am booked the first three Saturdays (1,7 and 14), could possibly do a Sunday but Saturdays just work better for me.

I would most likely be bringing one or both of the VLH "pups" as I would love some help getting some new stacked shots of them. I also know Knox Farm outside of Buffalo has been a good place to meet as long as it is still open.

One last thing... If anyone needs ANY liver please PLEASE PLEASElet me know. I have a ton of it! Mostly beef but some pork as well. I have just been slinging them whole into the freezer so I really have no idea what is beef and what is pork.

So far, our May weekends are open. Might have a conflict on Sunday the 22nd but not sure yet.

Hopefully Risa will be a bit more gregarious this time around. She wasn't too friendly last time.
<--embarrassed

Aw man, I think I'm booked every weekend in May I'd totally go! I guess I can see the date everyone picks and maybe I could make the drive.

I would definetly be interested, as long as I am available! Saturday afternoons work good for me. I would bring Mason, but probably leave Ivy home.
Ruth probably knows the status of Knox Farm...I live in the area, but don't know if it is still open or not.
Too bad Mason doesn't like liver, otherwise I would get some from you!

Jamie, what about Saturday the 21st?

I can probably do it on the 21st. What about the place on Grand Island?

It looks like Knox Farm is open to "passive recreational activities." I assume that would include walking but means there are no facilities open.

If anyone really want to hike there is a really, really nice state park in East Aurora called Hunter's Creek. I love hiking there.

love Hunter's Creek!

Personally I prefer to stay on the South side of Buffalo as it is a 2 hour drive for us just to get to Knox Farm. Not to mention I know how to get there- lol.

Knox Farm and Hunter's Creek are both in East Aurora.

The only weekend day I know for sure that wouldn't work for me would be Sunday the 15th

Bummer my first free weekend is Memorial Day weekend. I will keep an eye on this thread to see if anything changes. I will be in Alleghany for the Geobash the weekend of the 20th.

As far as I know, the 21st is open.

Oh - this sounds fun!! Perhaps I could bring my Lilly and my new foster-failure child, Sammy. Hopefully I won't have to work job #2!!

I'd love to make the trip with Jax! Map says East Aurora is only about 3 hours from Nichols, NY

You sure can make the trip with Jax!!! Hey if you need some I might be able to score some duck necks!!!!

Are there other hikers coming? Maybe we could schedule a short walk/hang out (for the non-hikers) and a hike for the hikers?

I was going to tell you the same thing!

As of right now...the 21st works for me!

Please tell me Jax is craving a good 5 or 10 or 20 pounds of liver.... PLEASE???

Any cheap lamb out your way?

I might be up for it. Been awhile but if my back isn't messed up..... I might be able to round up some folks from this area to ride up with me.
