BLHTAZ Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 I remember a lot of that stuff. It's a great place to visit, but I would never want to live there again. We are probably going to be making a trip up for a visit sometime in May or June 2009 as all of my family is still up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
