We'll see if we can head on down. It'll be a hike for us, but I'm willing to help!
I understand about hikes...actually if you want to hike to something really fabulous...chenk out www.floydfest.com
I promise it's the best music festival you'll ever attend...we have lots of folks coming in from all over for this one...
But they won't allow more than 15k tickets to be sold...so if ya think you might want to go....check it out and get a ticket....
maybe I'll see you at the potluck or the demo....if my dog is "better."

Unfortunately I checked out the transportation....I won't be able to do it because the schedules just won't click. I would end up traveling for two, almost three days, and demonstrating for maybe six hours LOL. And all for the low low price of $200 plus....
I'm with you in spirit though.....I will be saving my pennies for another DC rally. I'll ned enough for travel, boarding......bail.......LOL.
