Thx for response OLDMICS, just saw it. No way for me to get out there. You don't happen to have a contact # for vendor? I looked up hills in vendors, nothing came up. Also called hills restoration in Ohio, thought that may be who you were referring to, they don't have a stand there. Tried to pm you,...

Thx lew. I was gonna try to piece it together.
