Yay, finally got to meet you Gumby! One thing they changed up this year compared to last are the 45 minute presentations were held inside instead of in tents outside, which made them somewhat more inaccessible. Flip side is you get a quieter environment with better AV equipment.

They probably also had more sponsers this year, they were raffling out compost, an energy efficient washer/dryer set, a kayak from REI, among other stuff. I attended one of the keynote speakers (Erik Larsen, the first guy that made it to the north pole during the summer) and they had a mini-raffle just for those in attendance for that session (more compost, earth friendly bath scents?, and a solar powered cell phone charger that would've been really nice but someone's daughter won that one).

You also missed out on a great clinic Wayne gave on Sunday. He was able to coach me into getting over 90mpg in my HCHII in a loop from 16th to Spring Creek along the feeder roads of 75. Yeah we did tick off a few people on the road but seeing what can be done has gotten me thinking about where I can use FAS in my routine.
