I'm thinking about it.

Last year, I spent the night at Roger's house in Loomis.
We swung by and picked up Mike on the way.

When I got home, I told a neighbor about the trip and he said "Why didn't you tell me you were going? I could have gotten you a comped room at XXXX hotel?"

I'm thinking of taking him up on it this year, and seeing if he's good on his offer. :p

I need to go a bit farther than that to Fallon and then South.
Fallon NAS is there and their bombing range is south of the NAS.

Get there early. Lots of good stuff happens before the sun is up...



Then good stuff happens once the sun is up too!

I figured since you started the thread you were going Steve.
That's why I didn't ask. But no solid answer from Roger or Crystal.
And it looks like Jimmy is going too!

can't go this year. Son is off to University, moving him in that weekend...and paying for tuition is going to severely curtail my location shoots.

Which is why during last Thanksgiving I only took one of my two sons to Kauai.

Left him taking summer classes and taking care of the cats at home while we went on vacation.
Saved a bunch of money by not taking him. ;)
