I don't know if you wil be first Eric. You have me to contend with, but I might let you get in first because you want it so bad.
 
Ahhh, we can only dream of the day that money is no object and the budget is out the window. When that happens I will buy the EYOF collection and I will give you half Eric for being so generous and leaving some plants for me,
 
Ok. I made it down and back in about 3 hours each way. 229 miles,..3 hours!!! It took me almost the same amount of time to download all these photos.
