Joe,
  If you are a licensed pilot, or know one and can rent a small plane; a spin around Mt. St. Helens to see the giant "blow out" is really impressive.

 A friend gave us a ride in 1991 in his Cessna that was unbelievable.

Regards,
Jim

Just be patient.

It would be fascinating to hear what Mike has to say. Any chance his presentation could be summarised on here? Unless he would feel constrained knowing his thoughts were being reported outside the room.

One place I have not noticed you guys discussing is South Africa. Whilst the Bloodhound team have exclusive access for a period, if you look a few years ahead Hakskeen Pan could become an attractive venue. I'm not sure how well the surface will work for wheel-driven vehicles though.

I have not spoken to Mike about any investigation of South Africa.

If he discusses it I will question him regarding distribution of the

talk.

Thanks for asking.

Gonna miss seeing you Glenn, and everyone else this year, but I have a new Granddaughter due anytime and I fear the wrath of the Irish if I don't make myself available for diaper duty. Colleen has informed me that she will shout undecipherable Celtic spells at me if I'm not there 24/7... If that doesn't work she will poke me with a sharp object.

 Have a good time, and Happy New Year everyone !

You will be missed but maybe you could negotiate one 16/7 day and come visit us.

Remember you missed some meetings when You were soldiering.

Not many make up days each year.
