Ken... it's the difference between 7.5 hours and about 15 OR the hassles of flying, renting, driving etc. (still would be about 10 hours with everything...) and keep in mind that I would be trying to accomplish this in a four day period...not enough time to just kick it in the vally the way I'd like to.
Please pray that Tioga doesn't close and then I stand a chance. Of course talking the wife into camping again...she's sorta got used to B&B's and migrated away from the camping thing (actually it was the bears popping open car doors all night in upper pines years ago on memorial day weekend when they didn't have the bear boxes out yet!).

I am flying into San Francisco on Friday, driving to the Valley that afternoon, staying at the Valley View in El Portal, returning to SF on Sunday evening, and flying home on Monday.
Lots of hassle, time and money.
But, I cannot miss the chance to see old friends all in the same room again.
I hope to see you.
Best, Roger

Hi Don,
Wow, what a blast from the past this is going to be. You bringing any of your SoCal cohorts?
See you there. Peter Haan and are traveling together from SF.
I will bring a few extra gallons of my best 'preserver.'

Hi,
This is approaching quickly and I am looking forward to it. There is going to be a lot of people there. Many I haven't seen in a while and many I am looking forward to meeting. Going to be a blast.
We will have, as has been mentioned before, a T-shirt, a brochure with ample room for signatures and a special cancellation stamp. During the event we will offer a package of all 3 for a $50.00 donation. This is priced for the event only. YCA has put out well over $10,000 to make this thing happen.
If you can't be there, email me before the event if you are interested and I will put a package aside for you at that price if you are willing to pay postage. I will need your T-shirt size.
After the event they will be available via our website as supplies last.
Thank you,
Ken

Lynne!
I am getting ready... I am! I just need to... (Shoving a large box aside and reaching through the cobwebs) ...grab myself and get a move on. (Pulling a dark haired form from the corner and shaking it's dust off.)
See you soon!

I'd like to order one of them there package thingies, and hope that a whole bunch of you lurkers do also. Seeing as it looks like I can't be there in person. Ken, should we order and pay on-line, or order by e-mail and pay on-line, or?
Plus I'd like to bump this thread. My goal for today is to keep it on the front page.
