I wanted to share with you how special my birthday weekend
was with you guys. Thanks for my Birthday cake Tom, it meant so much to
me. I am truly blessed to have Gregory as my life long partner, and to
have you guys as good friends. Now we feel so very much at home in the
woods and look forward to many visits with you guys in the future.

"Hello;
Thanks for answering my e-mail so quickly. A friend of mine gave me your card
and told me to look up your camp. I was very impressed with what i saw. I'm glad
there is a place where we can go and be ourselves. My friend and I would like to
come visit your camp. We get our vacations in October and would like to come up
then. We have looked for a place like this for a long time. Look forward to
meeting you in October." -

"Hey Guys,
Thanks for a most enjoyable
afternoon. You made me feel very comfortable as well as welcomed.
Hope to be able to return soon.
I am going to spread the word about you guys, and maybe it will bring more
people to the facilities.
Thanks again for a good day.
Just what I needed." - Jim

"Hey Tom,
Thanks again for a great weekend. Tom & I
really enjoyed ourselves. We made it home safely. Savannah was a hoot. Tons
of people. crazy town. The parade, on Monday, was literally a wash out.
Poured for hours non-stop. We stayed in bed!
Pic looks good of our RV. I'll send you some
once we get them developed.
Say hello to everyone & hope to see you guys soon.
Hugs," - Jim & Tom

"Dear John, Tom, Howard and Jeremy,
My appreciation for the birthday celebration on our last visit to 'In The Woods' is no less sincere
despite the lateness of this note.
You have such a wonderful way of making each of your guests feel
special and welcome, that Mike and I feel as if we are visiting old friends.
In spite of your schedules you welcome us as if nothing in the world were more
important.
We have always enjoyed our visits to 'In The Woods' and
find ourselves counting the days until we can once again make our way back to
north Georgia and visit our new friends and their beautiful home."

Just wanted to send a note of thanks for the wonderful weekend. Even with the

Hi John and Tom,
I want to thank you
both for such a wonderful time at your camp. Myself and Patrick were the[re] this
past weekend. The weather was not the best, however, you both made us feel very
comfortable.
I wish all of you the best with your camp. I know I will be back and will tell my friends
about it also.
Thank You - Wayne

hi tom
enjoyed meeting and visiting with you! good to meet
someone intelligent and not have to have sex with them!! -- david
*************************
Just wanted to drop a line and let you
guys know that Jim and I REALLY appreciate "In The Woods" as THE place in our
area for relaxing and meeting new friends. It is such a relief when we get
there from all the hubbub and drama of every day life and then to have a
place that we can be relaxed and be ourselves is invaluable.
We also would like to say a big thanks to all the guys on staff as you have been a great help in
getting adjusted to the outdoors again. I thought I could never have such intelligent and fun
conversations with folks at a campground. At the "str8" places, all they
wanna do it complain about their spouses and have kids terrorizing the
patrons, running , screaming and the like. Even though I have seen a few
"screamers" there.... its nothing like then kids!
Jim and I have been coming to "In The
Woods" since April 2003 and have seen it transform from a scruffy, no
vegetation place into a campground worthy of high praises. The pool has been
wonderful, the clubhouse is comfortable and clean, the grounds are great and
natural, and the sites are just secluded enough!
Bravo and congratulations guys! You've
made a little heaven in GA for the guys in SC and all over to come and have a
good time with a minimum of hassle.
David and Jim
*************************
Howdy Guys.
I had a wonderful time ,even though I left at midnight-just not a morning
person yet, you will and I say you will be seeing me a lot this year, hope Tom
gets felling better, say hello to Howard, LOVE you place there it really help
your Body and Soul. Very nice place you have working. And great people.
HUGGS till later

*************************
Tom, John, Jeremy, and Howard,
Thank you for a wonderful day and night ...inthewoods. I had such a great
time meeting you and the other guests last weekend, and I'm already thinking
about when I plan to come again, (and again!)
The facility is really beautiful with just the right mix between wilderness
and civilization. Rustic cabins are great but give me a flush toilet and shower
any day. The pool is beautiful and was great fun.
I know it was small crowd, but on top of being great hosts, you attract a
really good crowd of men. I only wish I had had time to get to know all of them!
I will be back, and I'm looking forward to it.
Michael
*************************
Tom, John, Howard, and Jeremy,
Thanks for a great time at your place. Your campground and facilities were
great! We were very impressed! It is so peaceful and relaxing there. All of
you are great hosts!
Everyone (you and other guests) there over the weekend was very friendly. The
weather was great too!
We even made reservations for July when we checked out today! We will be back
for sure!
Keep up the good work on your successful campground.
See you again soon!
Mike and Billy - Knoxville, TN.

Just wanted to say thank you for what was a wonderfully relaxing visit. Your
hospitality made us feel at home and you can be sure we'll be back.
Thank you again for being such great hosts.

Someday we would love to have a permanent place (small trailer) at your
campground. If you should hear of any trailers for sale please let us know,
and we will always be checking the website.
Thanks again.

*************************
Hi guys,
We just wanted to drop a note and tell you again
what a great time we had this weekend. The four of you really have a nice
place going there with exceptional care for your guests. Mixing with such an
eclectic group of people was sure refreshing over the mix you find in the
only other places to go and mingle in the gay community (read: plastic
people at cheesy bars). Keep up the good work. I am sure we will see you
soon.
John and Bobby
*************************
Tom, John, Howard and Jeremy
I just wanted to thank you all for giving us such a great place to escape to!
It is wonderful to know that there is a place that we can go to where we can
relax and just be ourselves. All of you go out of your way to make sure that our
stay is always a great one! We look for every opportunity we can to make a trip
down to "In The Woods" where we can leave behind the stress of the day to day
grind, relax and meet new friends. It is exciting to see the improvements you
guys are making.
You are making a great place even better :-)
See you guys again soon, Johnathan and Randy
*************************
Tom,
Just wanted to say THANK YOU, for a great weekend, it was great to be able to
relax and enjoy some great times. You guys have a great thing going, and I
appreciate the efforts made. A special thanks to helping us out during the rain.
Look forward to many more returns...- Scott
*************************
Hey guys,
Just wanted to thank you again for insuring that we had a good time this past
weekend;
you had us hooked from the first phone call for information to the last hug
goodbye. The place is great but your attentiveness to our needs and comfort put
you over the top. We
can't wait until we are able to return and we will definitely be sending you
referrals in the near future.
Keep up the good work...

Tom,
Thanks to you, John and Howard, my partner and I had a wonderful stay at & in the woods. Your
campground was everything we hoped it would be. Both of us (my John and I)
were able to relax and enjoy ourselves completely. We took pleasure in the
friendly atmosphere and leisurely pace of everyone and everything at your
campground. Our next stay won 't be too distant into the future, but we will
return. Here's to scads and scads of blackberries, rolling hills, and
scalawags in your face. Thank you all again for having a place & in the woods.

Tom,
This is Billy and Daniel we just wanted to say thank you from the bottoms of our
hearts to the tips of our c**ks for making this 4Th of July weekend the best we have ever had.
We enjoyed ourselves immensely we never had laughed as much as we all did this past weekend.
We not
only have fallen in love with this way of life, but we fell in love with what you
guys are about and how it was so easy for us to open up and be a part of you
guys family.
We already have made reservations for Labor day weekend, and will
try to make it on a day pass. We only wished we could have shared this
experience with your partner we can only imagine what he's like if he's anything
like you I'm sure we would love him just as much. I will admit as city boys we
had our reservations, but as i said before you Howard, Jeremy and especially
Danny have made us want more. We cant wait to spend scads and scads of time in
our new home of Canon, Georgia!
your
friends
BILLY and DANIEL
*************************
Hey Tom,
Thanks once again for showing us an enjoyable time, too bad Johnny wasn't there
to spend more time with us but you do HAVE to do the family thing once in
awhile. Good to see the members joining in to help you out in his absence, that
says a great deal about you and what people think of you and In The Woods. It
was great meeting more of the long term members and seeing new faces...right, I
was looking at faces.
Back to the rat race and hope to see you again soon.

We, the TN Gryphon's Leather Club, had a spectacular time at your campgrounds this
year. Our annual Deliverance Run was a great success due to all of your efforts.
The sites were not only great for our Dungeon Tent, but were also
very accommodating to all who attended this year! Thank you again and cannot
wait for engagements and projects in the future!
In Brotherhood,

Hey Tom,
John, Howard and Jeremy.
I just wanted to say thanks for a nice weekend. The camp was great, the people were
friendly, and I had a nice relaxing time! I thought the camp ground was set up
well; the pool, hot tub and "Rec" room were very nice. I wouldn't change too
much! Wish I would have had more time to get to know you guys better. I guess
there's always next year.
Thanks
again guys.

P.S. good luck with the lawn mower.

Hello Tom,
Just wanted to tell you we had the best time this weekend cant wait till we
can make it back down there.

Hey Tom -
From the very first "Whoa! He's NAKED!" as you walked over to check us in,
to the good-bye hug as we left, you were a big part of making our few days
at In-The-Woods VERY enjoyable.
Did anyone ever tell you that you're an "in-your-face" kind of guy? It's a
good way to be. Since you don't hold anything back, you put me at ease right
away.
While I've wanted to visit a clothing-optional campsite for years, I was still
nervous about actually stripping down: "Will people think my d**k is too
small? Will they feel my gut is too big?" - Due to your frank talk about
body image and the fact that it doesn't really matter WHAT anyone looks like,
I was more comfortable than I'd ever imagined.
This morning, while we were sitting on the back porch, Rich commented on how
noisy it was: A/C units running, pool pumps, lawnmowers, etc - the absolute
quiet is one thing that'll bring us back to In-The-Woods. The other thing
that'll drive me back up there is looking forward to that total comfort that I
felt with the sun and breeze on my [nude body] - and a complete lack of embarrassment in being that way!
Thanks for a GREAT week!
-- Steve & Rich
*************************
John, Tom, Howard and Jeremy,
Against my wishes (grin), I'm back at work.
Three people have looked at me this morning and said, "YOU had a good
weekend," as opposed to "How was your weekend?" Somebody said I looked
"seriously relaxed and maybe a few years younger"...is that hot tub really the
fountain of youth?
I don't know about looking younger but I do a relaxing weekend with a great
group of people was JUST what I needed!
Thanks again and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Our most enjoyable Thanksgiving ever!
And I do mean that... Gregory and I felt that it was our best Thanksgiving holiday yet. To spend it with our family in Canon, was so special. That is how we look at that place... like it is home for us, and you and John and all the rest are our family. We enjoyed the murder party and especially enjoyed everyone at dinner. Wow, Tom, what a tribute to you and John. All that you do, it just draws folks, and I mean good folks to that place. As I am sure you are seeing, we are creating a foundation of "bedrock" folks for Canon. Ones that have deep down goodheartedness, and ones that you can count on when you need 'em. Yes, certainly, ones that can be trusted to be there for you when you need them. Wow, we are so lucky, Gregory and I, to have found you and to have become a small part of it all. As the years go by, my memory certainly will have a hard time keeping up with all the good times we have had there, but the feeling will NEVER go away about how we look upon our place in Canon. I wish I could describe coming home Sunday night late, I was already thinking about "Lord help me make it 'til Thursday nite, 'cause then everything will be ok again. and I can be me, and enjoy life, my friends, and whatever else comes our way there. " It is truly part of my life, being there with ya'll, and looking forward to being there with ya'll when we have to be away.
Gregory and Mike
P.S. A heartfelt thanks for the wonderful words you spoke just before our Thanksgiving dinner. It touched us both.

Hi Tom,
Thanks so much for being so nice to my partner Tom last weekend. He said he had a wonderful time and really enjoyed meeting you and the boys at the campground. We really enjoy the campgrounds that are geared toward a more personal feeling than the big entertainment places. I guess deep inside we're just a couple of good old boys. He also mentioned how great the location would be for my photography. I do a lot of work for GNI, and have mentioned to them my relocation. They, too, are excited about my future photo shoots. We're discussing now about a yearly site and how we can fit it in with the move going on from Florida to Greenville. Thanks again for everything.
Party Nekkid!
Gary

Tom and John, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for a great weekend. I love your place and I will highly recommend your place to everyone. I am going to try to get some outings scheduled this year for the Professional Gay Association here in NC and the Hickory Den outing so you should be hearing from me soon. Keep up the good work and I wish you much continued success. HUGS- JIM

The week I spent at In The Woods was just what the doctor ordered. Tom and John were loads of help and great fun. I was greated warmly and welcomed by everyone and attitudes of fun and acceptance were plentyful! Not a cold shoulder in the bunch. The tent site was clean and the hot tub was great!
There were plenty of trees and the pool was crystal clear.
The night around a fire at play ground was very "educational" I had a wondeful time and can't wait to come back. Thanks guys! See you soon! - Richard
******************************************
Hey Tom and John,
Thank you so much for a GREAT weekend! You made me feel very much welcome. I truly enjoyed the time spent at the campground. Thank you for celebrating my Birthday. That was very sweet.
******************************************
Dear Gentlemen, I want to give my deepest gratitude for such a wonderful stay, from your warmest welcome to the fondest farewell - even if you didn't see me leave :) Tom, John, Mike and Gregory each with his own character, all have that same spirit of generosity. From the first friendly meeting,(via Tom's tour)you feel like you've known these guys forever. And yet Tom still manages to display the Property with all the same pride and excitement as if he were sharing his new Lottery winnings! Not only will they go the extra mile to make a beautiful experience even more magical, they'll run a marathon.(This was proven when, immediately upon our arrival they toiled in that heat to dig a new line, so that my friend Gary was able to position his Motor Home.)His new retreat is now like the Mansion on the Hill, overlooking that gorgeous valley you have. I suspect this is the Role Model for what a campground should be - from the impeccable cleanliness, the subtle hint of creature comforts to the well maintained �wilderness� which still allows a genuine oneness with Nature (and other naturists).I'm spoiled now. I knew I'd miss the place as soon as I left - already last night I actually dreamt about �yall� (or �you lot" as we say back in Blighty.) Hopefully, now that I'm back in the harsh light of the real World, time will fly by till I can return. Tim e virtually comes to a standstill in the tranquility of the oasis In the Woods.(If you come for a long weekend you'll relax there for a week - each hour last 180 minutes!) I'll remember those lush rolling hills when I think of how expansive your hearts are. �Is it any wonder" that every person in that place is so lovely? :) Than k y ou for everything. See you soon. Garry.

Some friends and I,from Chattanooga TN, visited your great get away and had a wonderful time. As this was my first time ever going to a place like this, I did not know what to expect.

Thanks so much for a lovely weekend. The hospitality of IN the Woods is evident from the time you arrive. Our organization was lucky to find a place to share with the guests and be welcomed so openly. It appears we did pick up some recruits. We look forward to doing this again next summer. Let's negotiate for a date soon.
Thanks Again

***********************
Dear Tom & John,
After 4 years, I returned to *In the Woods" and was made to feel very welcomed by not only you two, but as well, your regular campers. I enjoyed a very relaxing, low key and warm atmosphere from the time I arrived until departure. It is nice to know there are two campgrounds in the area that while very similar are very different. I shall look forward to returning and spreading the word to others about your campground. Who knows....I may just show up with some more chicken salad and TWO loaves of bread for the "crew"! Thanks again for your hospitality!

The 3 day trip this last month proved to us a few things, most importantly, that this will be the best trip that we have made to any of the campgrounds. The friendliest most warm atmosphere with a genuine feeling of thanks and do come again soon, that we have encountered. Every one there, even other guest dropped by to extend the welcome. Everyone would drop by and extend their help in setting up and dismanteling. Smiles were everywhere. Will be counting down the days till May28 through June 2nd So far each day till then had drug by at oh so slow a pace, but we will be there. Counting down the days till then :-) Buren & John
