Yes, John, you should definitely attend someday! The first time I went, 3 years ago, there were maybe 20 PDMLers there; 2 years ago a slightly smaller group. We took over a quadrant of the campground as "PDML Central", adorned with a big Pentax banner, and very well supplied with beer and cameraderie.
Oh, and there's the spectacular scenery, and hiking, and some of the presentations are pretty good too. You will likely +never+ see so many Pentax shooters in one place at one time again. I'm in the UK this spring, so will miss this year... but plan to go again next year.
