[sac-board] Re: 5 Mile Meadow

Rick et al, although not a member of the board I think you have pretty 
well covered the entire situation.  As far as where to go would seem to 
be up to the individual.  At this point I'm not sure a two nighter is in 
the works for me, more like just Saturday night; but there is a chance 
for Friday night only - a slim chance at that.

Once this situation is cleared up, and behind us, we might want to 
rethink our late June plans for future planning.

Clear skies,
aj
