Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Sounds like lots to do and see. We are staying at the Frio Lodge, should be there sometime (hopefully) early afternoon on the 26th, will ride down to the D'Rose to check in with everyone.

Work and lack of PTO are keeping me from going on this trip. But don't worry, oh King of the Ugly, I'll catch up to you in ES and then I'm calling the ugly police on you!
