Wait, she's 72?! That's insane. I have to constantly hear complaints about going down the stairs when I'm around other family that age, it's hard enough to get them to fly the short 45min from HIB to MSP -even with a cart to pick them up when they get here. I have no words.
...
Ah. Out of curiosity, how's the lines for gas in Manhattan?
We've averaged walking over 5 miles a day sightseeing on this trip and Norway isn't flat.
We may be crazy but we're not stupid - we don't buy gas in Manhattan or elsewhere in NY State. While I was born and raised in lower Manhattan our present homes are in NJ, a few miles over the GW Bridge and a summer beach home on Fire Island, NY.
She's also a NRSA and a PM.

The last week of August will probably work for us. PA would also work.
I'll bring a couple of 9mm Competition guns and ammo (only 15 rd mags since we'll be travelling in NJ) a SIG 1911 (not set up for competition yet) and her .38 Airweight, 9mm Ruger and S&W .22 as well as a supply of ammo for those who may not have guns or ammo but want to join in. I'll have to check with her before I commit to a date.

I've seen references to past ATL DOs but I've only been around here for about a year. I'm always up for meeting other FTers, even the ones I think are wrong about everything 
Have recently been thinking it'd be nice to start up a SFO/SJC/OAK happy hour thread similar to the DC one. Open to all of course, per FT rules, but it seems like there are a lot of us who steadfastly resist being hub captive. Will probably post something shortly before I head back from this east coast trip.

I think the very nature of the event requires it to be open.
The last ATLDO was a wonderful event. I missed the second one and the first wasn't really a DO per se. However, it did have a chocolate fountain (as mentioned in many posts by Lehava) so that counts for something.

We'll bring an M1 Carbine, a VZ.58, a few CZ's, and a Walther or two.
