Hi, I live in Ohio but will be the South on that date. I have been researching g this count for a couple of years now. I have only been able to connect with one person. Do you need reservations? Does anyone have the physical address for the library, for MapQuest. Is there a reasonably priced hotel or motel close to there? To me this sounds like a fun time.
