I'll echo all of the thoughts on the gatherings as well. It indeed is the highlight of the weekend to re-connect (and make new connections!)

Glad everyone made it home safe and sound. We look forward to having you all back in our fair city in a year! (Except dd, who will be making the down-under trek. I am HIGHLY envious of you and the Spartans for making one of my bucket list trips!)

And I like your idea, O_S! I had a great time on one of those island sites on McKenzie Bay several years ago, and would gladly pass through there again!

Thanks again to everyone for their participation this year!

Scott
