Hey there, Bearheart, welcome to the Mudcat! I saw your posting on the garden thread. Really enjoyed the bit about the beavers and Congratulations on passing the state boards!

If you haven't already, you might want to read the very top thread, which is teal in colour and called Mudcat FAQS. It will tell you a lot about navigating the 'Cat, although it looks like you've figured it out pretty well already.

If you go the Quick Links which is near the upper right hand side of the main thread page, use the pull down menu and click on Mudcat Resources, you will go to a page which has the Mudcat Locator, click on that you can see a list, by country, state, and county of where Mudcatters live, at least the ones who have sent their info in to be included. Catspaw49, usually refered to as "Spaw" lives in Ohio, don't think it's southeast though, and there are a couple of others, if I remember right. He is a luthier, as well as one of our more illustrious raconteurs!

Anyway, holler if you need any help or have any questions. Mudcatters are very helpful. Glad you have joined us.

All the best,
