John,
Thanks for the info.
To give you a long distance weather report, it's supposed to be a little over 80 here
this weekend and sunny. So.. guess I bite the bullet and get out early...
I'll gather up my gear the night before so I can be there 6 or so.
I'd like to try the poppers and need to round up the info I got at the FFF show in
May. Then.... see which local shop has the poppers in stock.
