Jerry W. Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 mage2, If you are south of Austin, you are surrounded by Balcones Forge members. They are meeting on the last Saturday of September in Llano. It is a great group, very willing to share their knowledge. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
