Lodging
The class location is at Wayfarer Forge, Afton Virginia.  The shop is next to my house.  The house is an old Virginia farm house and has plenty of room for everyone to room.  If you like, bring a RV or camp in the yard. 
Board: for those that want, we'll pool together and cook together.  Just how many barbeques can we do?
Cost of lodging at my place is free.  If you'd rather have the comfort of a hotel, there are several close by.  E-mail and I'll send the info for them.

What you need
You'll need to bring your own anvil, forge and if possible a vise.  Your favorite hammer, eye and ear protection and steel toed boots.  I'll have tongs here, but if you'd rather, bring your own.

Where the heck is Afton, Virginia?
It's right along the Blue Ridge parkway and about a half mile off of I64  Charlottesville is around 21 miles to the east and Staunton is 20 miles to the west.
