For some the June date didn't work and a few found out about Camp #1 too late. I just want to put this out to see if there would be interest in a Camp on September 15th -18th. I know this is getting into archery season and some backcountry seasons but this looks like the only dates available until next year. Let me know if this would be of interest and also how much interest would there be in a Winter Backcountry Skills Camp in February or March. You can post here, PM me or email at: runsmtns59msn.com Thanks Ed T

And Deb's cooking..... Holy crap, you're going to eat good. When's the Wellness and Lifestyle class Ed?? I'm Irish... Of course I know how to patch drywall

Ed, Do you have a syllabus of what was presented, the manner of presentation, and the duration of each segment? Thanks.

Guess i will have to chain up the TDI and head over! Looks like there would be some great skiing around your place.
