Moving the "One Fly"

Gentlemen,
     I/We have the opportunity to move the location of the "One Fly" to a place with more space.  And as usual there are pluses and minuses to this.  And since I just organize the event I am asking all those concerned do we want more room?
     The pluses:  More room,  Better overhead cover with more tables,  Flush toilets,  More parking, More room for other activities,  Location allows beer IF we patrol our own.  More centrally located to all the West end tribs.  There is an excellent fly shop on the site and the owner wants us to play there.  Easier to find.
 
     The minuses:  Loss of the secure site, more traffic in the area.  Loss of the smallness of the event.  We are limited now to mainly Elk for fishing.
 
    If we move then there will be more room for everybody who wants to attend.  And there is much more room for horseshoes, bocce, fly casting events, ect.  The only real drawback is we will only have semi-exclusive use of the area.
The place is Folleys End.
 
     I want your input;  Please be brief.  Remember the mob rules.

    Better, more, and larger holes at the original spot. More area to spread out and fish.

    For my fishing reports, product reviews, stories, and other nonsense...

    Follys would be my choice....   I believe its actually closer to a central location  .....     My wife likes the plumbing as most women will

    Also we would have electricity

    No opinion either way for me. I'll trust the judgement of you guys that have done this a time or two.

    One of the many things I like about Folleys is the Campground  I'm sure others will take advantage of it...  I know if its there I will be camping ......

    yes there will be a few that have made it up that far... there were last year. Only about 20 though.


    I'm debating camping at Folly's now instead of Uncle Johns. Who needs showers....

    Folly's is one of my favorite places to fish... Whatever iz best for yinz works for me though.

    I don't always snag fish, but when I do...
    I choose Little Cleos

    I'm the best looking smartest snagging poacher alive...

      Any place that is open to the public.  Without cost.

    What a smart@$$.

    You know...for all the grief, that was one of the best fights I've ever had, and certainly THE best with a fly rod.

    ...the fight with the fish, I mean.

    Never been to Folly's but I am all for it. I have heard good things.

    If I would have asked what everyone wanted, they would have responded that they wanted a better horse....Henry Ford

    And after that, may God cut a new path through the earth to route every stream he owns around his property! And may he stub his toes for the rest of his greedy days.

    What?! That IS nice compared to the rest!

    Oh, and mb we should steer clear of Folly's...judging by Skip's first picture, it's under a severe giant-finger-squashing alert.

    So what is the decision?  I've only heard from about 7 people.

    Never been to folly's nor that high up on elk... My only reason for being against it would be the lack of knowledge of the area (where to fish, what's posted, how to get there and back... etc.)

    Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    Nobody says you have to fish at Folleys you can drive anywhere, that's just the place for the picnic.  Folleys is just more centrally located.   Will someone please post a map.  Especially one comparing the two in relation to each other.
