Hey Warden, thanks for picking this up and running with it. I got kinda discouraged.

(Poor me!)
I live about a half hour north of Seattle, so anything south of the Calif/Oregon border would be a bit of a major trek for me this year. But if enough people wanted it in N. Cal, I'd try and make it if I could.
There was also some one that respnded to my origional post that was from Vancouver B.C. area. California would probably be a bit far for him too. But we'll see what happens from here.
