Scoping out the cabin ahead of time.
8 picnic tables, seating 10 each (5 per bench) means seating for 80, which should be more than enough. If as many as 50 show up, that still leaves 3 tables for food. Again, more than enough.
There is an electrical connection (2 outlets with two electric jacks each). That should be quite handy. However, if we could be self-reliant regarding keeping food warm (if possible) that would be even better.
In the video I said each table seats 8. Each seats 10, as the post above says.
There is also an alternate access road that will be open for the family on the day of the gathering. It should allow adequate parking.
If there are any questions or concerns, let us know.

Pictures Wanted
If you have pictures to share at the event, you can upload them at this link: http://bit.ly/SalterPix
We are looking for pictures from the time at the cabin (c1933-1967), at previous gatherings (formerly birthday event for Grandma Leona Wells and Myrtice Wells Edwards), or other pictures of family events. Of particular note might be pictures of family members who are no longer with us.
If you don't know how to scan pictures, contact Lee Wells Steele [Lee's page on Facebook] or David B Dukes [David's page on Facebook], or leave a message here. We can take them and make high quality copies, or we can make good copies without the picture leaving your possession, if you prefer. We understand how precious they are.
You can also post the images on Facebook, if that is your preference. Leave them in the comments on a post there, or share them to the main page. All photos are appreciated.

The Cabin
Some of you are old enough to remember the cabin. Folowing Pa Salter's death in 1967, the cabin was sold to the state of Georgia and moved to Oatland Island Wildlife Center, where it is used today in exhibits and events.
But do you know the whole history?
The cabin was built by Lewis Price, who was brother of Vincey Price.
Vincey was an ancestor of many of us. She was married to William Wells, and was mother of Evan Wells.
Evan's children included William Solomon Wells and David Francis Wells.
William Solomon Wells was grandfather of Theodore Russell Wells, who married Willie Lee Salter.
David Francis Wells was father to David Evan Wells, who married Leona Salter.
We have a family connection to not only the last residents of the cabin, but the first residents as well.
