Now Deb, you will really enjoy one of the vendors, Monaco Motorcoach is displaying a new model outfitted for fishing. From what I have read it will be available in 28-30' long, have skid plates, rod racks, and a spot where you can take off your wet waders, the list is near $100K. It will be interesting to see if the lighting is upgraded for a tying station. But, with Steve out of town, you could be ready for the striper clave.......no tents, coffee maker, indoor plumbing...and they aren't that difficult to drive :-)) Peggy B Milford, NH At 10:21 AM 1/5/2004 -0500, you wrote: >Chris >It is a very nice show.
