Oh, I wish! It's just a bit too far to commute--at least more than once a year. See you in June.

Melani,
Yes, come June we will get together. I have always wanted to make it to the Keogh sector, if that's were you will be. Let me know. I'm planning to make camp at the same spot I was at last year.
The distance to NYC or Montana is a Little Big for you.
Gerry

I hope to be in the Keogh sector. Last year they decided we all needed to broaden our educations and assigned me to Deep Ravine and Ruth, who prefers Deep Ravine, to the Keogh sector, but it was just like trying to put two magnets together with the poles reversed--there was a resistance and a twitch, and the next thing we knew, Ruth was on the Deep Ravine Trail and I was in the Keogh sector. We didn't actually plan that--I was feverishly studying up on Deep Ravine--it just happened.
I will also be in my usual place, at the Seventh Ranch.

for anyone from the NY area thinking about attending, I just checked out the flights and it's much, much cheaper - and quicker - to fly to Billings and then drive to the Olive than to fly directly to MC.

A few snowflakes wouldn't stop Peter Thompson. Walk on, Bro. Have to go to the LBH website to see what the battlefield looks like.

In times like that, its time to pick up an ax and scream "Danny Boy!" and run barefoot through the snow while intending to reach your destination (or your victims).
Thats what Mr Nicholson would have done.
