Alex Bealer has a picnic shelter for our meeting at Hard Labor Creek State Park on Saturday the 16th. It is located pretty much in the middle of everything, across from the park office and on the same road as the campground. There is a large parking lot in the &quot;general area&quot;, and the entrance to our campground is to the left. <br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration:line-through">There is usually a two-night minimum on camping, but those who intend to camp can call the park office at 706-557-3001 and make a one night reservation - you just need to mention that you are with the Alex Bealer Blacksmith Guild.</span><em> Park camping is now full (we might be able to scrape up a location or two once we are there - but no guarantee for camping if you don't already have a reservation)</em>   <br />
