Please just call me; "Schultz"

See You There! :cheers
I'll be in around 1:00 pm. (got a class in the morning.) :type

I found out about it 2 years ago and have been ever since.
I like wandering around the back forty and checking out the old forgotten stuff in the woods and barns.

There is also one up past Richmond in Oilville, near Goochland.
I've been going to that one also.
It is in the middle of summer though and it gets hot as Hades then and there. :holycrap


I just noticed you put up the entry fee.
You can get free tickets from Advance Auto
You have to ask for them though, they only offer them to the shops, but the shops don't use them all, so they will give them out if you ask.

I shop at advance all the time, they let me use their lot for minor stuff.

Hey, the oilville show, are you talking about field days of the past? http://www.fielddayofthepast.net/ I think its in rockville off 64 near oilville. The trucking company I use to telemarkerter at use to give me tickets.
