A bunch of us are getting together on Saturday, April 13th. Anyone interested?

Is this the Boswell's in Chambersburg Pa?

The meet & greet is coming up. Get your Sunday best ready!

 

[mityahicks]

How many Boswell pipes do they keep in the store usually? The clear out online so quickly but I'm planning on dropping by in May.

 

[ssjones]

50 plus on any given day.

 

[mityahicks]

Sweet!

Al, Thinking about heading over there.

I "may" have a conflict though. As it gets closer, I will be able to figure out if the trip will be "doable". :puffpipe:

 

[ssjones]

It would be great to see some of the Hudson Valley crew again, but I understand if life gets in the way.

 

[ssjones]

Folks, I'm sorry to bail in the last minute, but I will not be able to attend. The one daughter in nearby WV has a situation I have to help address...

Wish I could go, but won't be able to anytime soon. I cannot wait to get up there some day. I plan to take a road trip from Raleigh and head straight up to the mountains, stopping by Milan Bros. on the way to Boswells. I'm going to need to save up some dough for it, though, because I don't plan to leave with any less 5 lbs of Northwoods and probably a few pounds of several others. I think a nice long mountain run trip will be absolutely terrific! Might plan it for the fall so we can take in all the fall foliage along the way!

I was in Raleigh two weekends ago, googled pipe shops but came up with nothing. I think that was the same weekend of the Raleigh show?

 

[carolinachurchwarden]

Gotta be Pipes By George over near NC State University. Not sure why it wouldn't show up. He's over on Hillsborough Street. It's really odd, I just tried to google it myself and it wouldn't pop up, but it's at 1209 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, NC 27603. Really strange that it doesn't pop up in google maps. Still works in Bing maps though.

 

[ssjones]

Shoot, that would have given me a break in the morning from wife, two daughters and mother, before the wedding....

Allergies were tearing me up , so perhaps a good idea that I didn't discover the place.

 

[carolinachurchwarden]

Well now you know in case you happen back down this way again! Yeah, my allergies have been going back and forth between clear and killer the past week. I try to enjoy it again when I can, but the pollen clouds of plant sex have been brutal as hell this year. This was taken from Durham:
