Okay...

Probably not too much, but I would like to take the tour of the Coors
Brewery...

Maybe for a few beer runs...

I'd like to spend a day doing some sightseeing and hiking and stuff,
I'll definately be bringing my cameras (digital point & shoot and my
SLR) along. I'd be up for riding along with someone on some trails too.

I forsee most of my time at the campsite being used in cahoots with
Barry, Walt, Adam, and Jon thinking up new and exciting ways to harass Tom.

I expect this outing to be a true DML outing. One where hordes of
people stand around looking at eachother's trucks or plotting to take
over the universe (don't forget to bring your towel on any interstellar
jaunts) until late afternoon when we will all simultaneously realize
that it's now too late to do any of the other stuff we'd planned for
that day. Someone suggests beer and "all drink" resumes.

That sounds like a great time, let's plan on a day just like that.

As I mentioned before, I have a feeling that the campsite will see a
pretty good amount of action because we're all slow to get motivated to
do anything. Plus, since we're always up till the wee hours of the
morning, it'll be a plus if the campsite is nice.

You're welcome!
