I'm totally up for a get together. You can rent everything you need at the crater. If I can learn how to tow my 37 foot RV and set it up, I can sleep 7 easy and 9 with a blow up mattress lol!!
And, yes, I will get a diamond because nothing will stop me. One year I watched Kentucky Derby and told my son, "that looks fun. I'd like to have a horse in the derby. I'll give it a try." And he said (about 9 years old)don't be silly that would never happen. Well, it took two years after I said I'd like to try before a horse I bought in to made it to the derby AND came in 2nd!!!!!!!!!
83 more buckets of material? It's nothing!
