I'm up for sound trolling Ol Man River, Star Valley or other-- except
May 5 is too early for me. The weekend before memorial wkend May
20-22 is the earliest weekend I can do. I can bring 2-744's, one from
school assuming some of my students participate. If we do Star
Valley, there's a very nice, large cottage we could rent nearby for
non-campers (and rain). Rob D.
