by the way, Joe...http://www.bensendays.com is a really great site!

You get 1 large "atta-boy" for that effort and the continuing maintenance. I recognize the amount of effort involved and appreciate it very much.

Hey Joe, Great job on the website. How do we register for an airport campsite, and determine which sites are available and who is where? Thank-you.
