Dennis,
Good to hear you had a great time--and your wife got up there too. I recognize that pale hunting/gun writer in one of your photos; met him for the first time when we were both 29 (born a couple weeks apart), which was 35 years ago.
I love the North myself, and have sometimes consider moving up there. In fact Eileen has wondered if I was coming back sometimes!
It's nice to not be the deafest one in the room!!
