nctry_Ben - The replacement offer is still good.

I've not been following this thread very closely but I wish you guys the best luck. At one point I was going to recommend simply meeting on some lake and perhaps bringing some special part of a meal for everyone. Pizza and cheesecake are both well received on the loose, I'll try to meet you there scenario I'm reading. Pizza if you feel lucky. Cheese cake if you don't.

Planned meetings are a nice way to mesh different trips with different priorities. I've done a few of them over the years and the one thing that always surprised me was even when stuff happened and plans changed, the meetings have always seemed to happen.

Best of luck to you all!
