    i had a great time at the 13th roundup. i met a lot of people that i've talked to on this board and saw a few i already knew. next years roundup according to the new newsletter is in dulles, virginia. it is going to be put on by nick dominick. who i'm sure will put on a great show. however, moving this to virginia adds over 1000 miles to my distance. and $129 a night for weeknights and $89 for weekends puts this way out of my price range for gas and motel. sorry, i'd love to be there but not sure i can justify all the expense. this last one cost me almost $3000. this will probably bump it to close to $4000. guess i'll be taking that money and be putting it in to my sprint. i'm really sorry as i was already planning on being there. but i think it's now way out of hand. hope you all have a great time. i'm really depressed now.:(

    Sorry to hear that!

    Don, I enjoyed meeting you this past July at #13 (y). Who knows, we
    may see a Roundup much closer to you in the future. St. Louis? Texas?
    Who knows?

    Shorter for me too!

    From 12 to 5 hrs. I am sure it will move again in the future. That's the point-move it around-pick up new flavor, new folks, new fun.

    'Sounds like it'll be a good time.

    I'm just disappointed that I won't be hauling the Maverick there this year.
    Owensboro, KY was my limit (1000 miles one-way).

    Since I've already commited to attending this event, I think I'll start looking for low airfares NOW!

    Good luck for a successful event.
