God do I wish there was something like this on the east coast.

God do I wish there was something like this on the east coast.

I've heard rumors of possibilities... Directly from the director herself.


Next year my camera is going to make it out of it's bag. I was too busy to do much looking. I saw Kristy Taylor's Iran trip presentation which was phenomenal, I want to go now! And I got to see Lois Pryce's Americas and Africa Presentations, just amazing. Also got to catch Tom Collins' evening presentation (thank goodness that was the only thing happening at that time so that there was nowhere else I had to be.)


The super stars of the event, Tom and Lois were just the nicest people!!:victory:

I have to agree.

While all of the people (vendors, exhibitors, instructors, attendees, etc) that I talked to were friendly and in a good mood, those two stood out.

Not only were they willing to share their knowledge and experience, they were willing to learn from others. It was simply awesome to hear their stories, and spend a little bit of time riding with them. :bike_rider:

As a bonus, Marisa was *SO* excited to meet Lois, I can't even describe it. And then to receive an autographed copy of each of Lois's books, even if Lois did (unintentionally) let the cat out of the bag....I have one happy girlfriend right now.
