BIRDS NEST
Thanks, Ernie, for the heads up. I see that I was replying to a copy of a post
made elsewhere.

forum from your list of "one person from each group"? It seems to me that if you
really wanted to work on a project for all Wanderlodge owners, you should
include all. I would think that, with the demise of the factory, every effort
should be made to keep all Wanderlodge owners together, not exclude some and
"invite" others.

anywhere near Fort Valley, GA without the Wanderlodge factory being there?" This
area is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Don't take this wrong as I have
used the Birds Nest on several occasions over 20 years of Wanderlodge ownership.
It is a nice place to overnight and visit with other Bird owners. However, every
time it was for a day or so to have work done at the factory. There is, IMO, no
other reason to go there. As far as meeting up with other Wanderlodge owners,
that is what rallies are for. These events range from simple gatherings of a few
owners to large events such as just held in Tennessee. Great fun and they can be
held anywhere and don't need the defunct Birds Nest. Just my opinion, I'm sure
others will vary.
