We just got the OK from Jimmy Carrigan down the street, and he's going
to give us a key to his fenced in grass yards on either side of his
shop, and right down the street from ours. So we'll be able to host up
to about 15-25 vans between Jimmy's place and ours. We're in Hyde
Park(the southern most neighborhood of boston) and it takes about
30-35 minutes to drive up 128 to get to Bob's in wayland. If anyone
wants to use this space, let me know, we can make bathrooms and
showers available at our place.
