  I'm headed there from the St. Louis area and will be getting into town through the night Friday into Saturday morning. The long range weather forecast is looking pretty good! Last year wasn't bad, and it will be great to not be in the hot box! Makes flying more fun when you are not soaked to the skin in sweat! They have a great flying site right near the hotels and food places, and almost literally a stones throw off I-24. I got some much needed practice this past weekend, and hope I got my stuff sorted out and will be ready to have some fun. I'm bringing Mark Hughes with me from my area also. It's been a while since he has been to any contests, bu the boy can fly!
   See you all there,

Three of us are coming from the Memphis area and hope my son Ryan is able to join us from the Nashville area. Charlie and Allen put on a great contest and the club feeds us lunch both days.

See you guys there.

There's at least 4 of us from the Chicagoland Circle Cutters heading down. My son is flying intermediate and Nostalgia, I'm hoping the field makes for basic.

I am tempted to go to the WKSI, then the FCM, then the team trials, then Treetown if I don't make the team trials finals, then home. I'd have to leave now, though.

What did you decide, Howard? Did you leave today?  ??? Steve
