Welcome to the board, Karstscience..

Several of our grotto members plan to attend. It's too far in the future for me to commit the ticket price times two. If I do end up going, I'll let ya'll know how it was. Will you be attending?

[Karstscience]

Thanks Dan, I've been reading the forum for a while.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the dinner this year. Let us know how it turns out.

Several Colorado cavers are planning to attend the festivities in Lafayette. I'm sure that Ron's program will be interesting, as usual!
