Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon

[Bonnie]

How about a trip to the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon? There is a lot of history there. You can read up on it at the link below.

In addition to all the history, it is suppose to be haunted. If you go to the link below you can read of one person's experience there.

Let me know and I'll check it out.

Sounds good to me.  I read the history and the link you provided of the personal experience.  I found the personal experience more appealing than the history.  I noticed the hours were 9-5 every day for the Old Exchange.  I would really be interested in the dungeon.  I bet those tours hours are more limited.  Here is a link to the Bull Dog tours:

Looks like the tours are at 7 and 9 PM nightly there too.

I have emailed Tad. I'm pretty sure that he works for Bulldog Tours. I am waiting for him to email me back.

I also invited him to join our group.

Cool! I was on the Bulldog Tours site today looking at the all the tour guides.  I think he was the last one listed.  We need to do the dungeon tour and maybe the graveyard tour.  They both look pretty good.  Hope he joins so he can give us some insight into which ones are the best.

[Bonnie]

Tad told us at one of the meetings that the Dungeon was a great place to tour. He said that he had seen the chains move himself.  cool huh!

Oh, he emailed me back and said that he would be glad to give us a tour, and he will get back with me on the details. He also said that they were extremely busy right now with tourists.

I hope that he joins us too, because he is a really nice guy.

Great.  Maybe it will slow down some when everyone goes back to school.  You would think that with all the schools that have started that it would already be slowing down.  Anyway, sounds like a great time.  Yep, it would sure be nice if we could rustle up some more members.  Everyone is welcome.

If I  have enough  notice I would   love to do this! Keep me in the loop please!

Thank you

[Dianna]

We will post on the board when we schedule this event, Susan. It would be cool if you could make the trip!

I still haven't heard from Tad. It will probably be better to wait until it cools down a little. Ya'll let me know what you think. When is a good time for everyone? The price is normally $13.00 to $15.00.

[Bonnie]

I still have not heard from Tad. I'm getting the fever. I say let's do it. When is a good time ??

Bonnie

[Jim]

Well, take a look at the calendar, you guys work this weekend.  Next weekend is Labor day weekend and I think Justin has mentioned that they might come down.  Work on the 9th so for the weekend about the 16th would be the soonest.  We need to plan it far enough out so that everyone would have a chance to come if they want too.  Once we finalize the date I can send out a mass email notice to let everyone know.  So how about the 16th of Sept.  Can you check on that date and let us know, that is if it's acceptable to everyone?

[ControlledChaos]

Hi, I still want to go! So when you decide let me know. Can I make it so that I get an email when new threads are posted here?

[Jim]

Well I suggested a date but so far no response from our event coordinator for this outing (Bonnie).  We could make it on a Friday night I guess on the weekend that Dianna and Bonnie has to work.  OK, so let's do it this month sometime if we can.  I guess we can pick another guide if Tad can't do it, right?

Glad to see you figured out how to make the board notify you of replies, Susan.  That "notify" button also works if you press it and are viewing the "Events" index.  Then, any time someone starts a new topic, you are notified by email.  Works pretty nifty.

It does work Yeah!! Well I'll keep monitoring, all sounds good to me. I work in Real Estate and it's a little slow right now, but gives me time to do other things of interest. 

This month sounds good, I know I have a customer coming to town the 12th, so the  weekend  should be cleared.

[Bonnie]

I thought we decided to do Savannah and Church of The Holy Cross first.

Bonnie

[Bonnie]

We can probably get most any Friday. Ya'll let me know.

Bonnie

[Jim]

We may need to wait on this one with the trip to Savannah on the calendar for the end of the month.  Let's move this one to October, maybe mid-month or so.

Jim

[Bonnie]

Works for me. That will give us time to find out who wants to go.

Bonnie

[Jim]

Is it about time to start thinking about a trip to the dungeon?  Maybe we should pick a Friday night in October.  Most any are OK with the exception of the 13th.  If we go up for Reyla's birthday on Saturday we wouldn't want to be out ghost hunting too late the night before.  I've got to work out some weekend coverage conflicts at the plant too.  Aunt Bonnie, can you find out the specifics on this tour?  Get all the details from Tad or whoever and post here so we can see who all wants to go.  I know Susan mentioned wanting to ride up when we do take the tour if she is given enough notice.

[ControlledChaos]

Yes  I'd  love to go,  for some reason I haven't gotten these update "notify"... very strange. When I clicked on "notify" it said do you  want   to disable...so I said yes  and reclicked   it.  See  if that  works. I haven't gotten any emails in  at least a week. Grrrr

[Jim]

I checked the settings and they are set to email you.  The last post in this topic before last night was the 15th and the last one in the Savannah Trip topic was the 19th.  You also might want to make sure that the emails aren't being filtered to junk mail.

Once we pick a date for the dungeon tour I will email you directly to make sure you get notified.

[ControlledChaos]

I'll check the trash maybe they went there!  Got this one though so I'll try to check more often. Keep me posted   TY

[Jim]

Any interest in trying to set up this tour after the first of the year?  The last post in this topic was Sept 29th.  I imagine we are all quite busy but it would be nice to pick a date now so that folks that want to can make plans to participate.

[Bonnie]

I am. I think Susan wanted to go. Maybe we could check with her - see when a good time for her is. Anybody else?

Bonnie

[Bonnie]

I'm still waiting for an answer. If no one wants to go, Oh Well.
