Bob Barnes:
I wish that I could make it too... I was so stoked and would have camped there a few days with friends, but I was informed that I would be 2  hours west of here at my grand-daughters 5th birthday party... :(  I will go visit everyone on Friday and help setup, and may try to go back on Sunday for the awards and fun shoot. ... but next year it's on my calendar already!   :OK
