...a little help from my friends...

[Varmit]

I guess most of you know by know that I am writing a book for Stonefly Press about the Smokies. I am doing 25 locations and have just finished the first quarter of them. Now comes the hard part. I will be fishing on the east side of Gatlinburg and on the North Carolina side of the park with a plan to end the book at Hazel Creek in or around the first of September.

Here is where I need help. I need someone who can commit to go with me on some of these trips. Not being familiar with the areas that I will be headed to, I do not want to travel them alone for safety. I might be camping some and driving some.

If you have dates coming up in the summer that you 100% know you are going to be able to go, give me a shout.

Thanks in advance. I have to have this book finished and on my publishers desk be the second week in October. (by finished I mean 65,000 words, 350 pictures, 30 pages of maps.) Release date is March 14 2014...with huge party to follow....

Thanks,
Marc

I'm game. Look at those dates I sent you. We could go to one of the places you need to mark off.

Varmit;

Text me with the dates that you think you are gonna be trying to fish. I should be able to clear my calender for the majority of them.

Good thing your publisher didn't say 3rd Week of October... He/She must know that is a sacred holiday in Big Orange Country!
