Mark, hopefully you've always realized how much we all appreciate everything you do. It's a group effort, but it does take someone to spearhead it and you've done a wonderful job.

I was looking at the rates, and it looks like they've gone up $30/night to $150. I'm afraid that might put me out of it this year as well, at least for overnight stays. My typical trip would be $450, plus food/gas/bait....and while the experience has always been worth way more than that to me in terms of fun and memories, the old bank account might break under the pressure. We'll play it by ear, and may just drive over early one morning and home that night. Depends on what the family wants to do.

Anyway, thank you again Mark! I hope someone is able to step into your very big shoes and help out this year.
