Well, after an absolutely GREAT GATHERING weekend, and a very nice Monday morning at Chimney Rock, we flew out of Charlotte only to be kept at the ST. Louis airport for hours and hours...upon arriving in SFO at 1:30 am; my sisters and I debated as to stay up to see a West Coast sunrise or what!! (Sooooo much free time to decide!!) (We already saw the extended sunset....the second in as many days...)
However, my sisters and I would like to say how much we truely enjoyed EVERYONE any every body at this year's gathering...our thanks to Rich and Elaine for all of their hard work and time to enable us to so throughly enjoy a weekend of Mohicanland...and to MMMMMarcia for all of her work with the Chimney Rock people (the bunkhouse decorations were GREAT); to Ilse for the great tee shirts and to Sarah Z...for the great work on the program!
The weekend was absolutesly grand; we did miss all of you who were not able to attend; Chris: there were many "grey hairs" mine included; Carol: several charged up that Tablerock to give one a pause....DAR; only three of us had a top bunk...more in importantly...your rest stop on the way to the Top of the World in now "Dar's stop"...Ros...we needed the extra license plate to look at...and the movie was only the right side up!!! No surprises!
In other words; we had a great time; but did remember all of you "first time gathers" who did not make it; next year!!!!
I can not begin to tell everyone how great a time it was; one just has to be there....
Thank you Rich and Elaine again for a great weekend and a day to experience a great event...
Jo
