Wow Cliff, This sounds like a great place to do some digging around, wish I could make it up there but since moving to the Keys I find it harder to get any where - in part it has to do with the whole day of travel just to get there. Sounds like a great place for those who often spend extra days during the reunion to check out on their own. Still hopefull that I will be able to make it but with so much else going on it would be hard to do.
