Dude, that looks totally AWESOME! I wanna go...
So I've been saving the blog for a writing break. It's like a mini-vacation. Keep the pics coming. They are amazing. And I promise I will call this week. I'll be in the car on the way back from Louisville Monday morning if you want to chat.
Well written article.
