A hearty Winners Circle welcome to ron erpelding.

Aside to Ron (this is not anybody else's business): Go back to that website you visited. Carefully examine the park title you see in the heading. Now take a look at the same park name as it is spelled out in the first sentence of the narrative. Look carefully. What do you see?

Give me a break, Ranger Dave. I've already got enough people yanking my chain. :o)

Sorry, Jsmithart; it's not Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial.

Good job, viewmtn; you're in. Why am I not surprised?

BTW, that is not what celibate means.

Good job, Eric. You are in.
