Would love to join in on another get together. Just hope it's somewhere close to me, but NOT in Illienoise.

I remember it happening (it was like the Hindenburg crashing) but I can't remember why anymore. Was it the wind?

I would have to have some time to try for days off. If it can be put together, I would like to attend, if I can get the time off.

Even two weeks it's enough time to come up with a tang sight with enough elevation for 800 miles. :roll:
