Perhaps we should forget the KTOS trips to Sharp's Ridge, and simply
crash Dean's house. No worry over traffic, noise, interrupting
amorous happenings or stepping on sharp man-made objects. And I'll
bet that either Dean or his new wife cooks... (Sorry Dean, I've
forgotten her name...)
;-)
Congrats on the great list so far.
