Hi Charlie,

That's a pretty good list! :-) Last summer my son & I did the tours from 
Adelman & Smith's Devil's Den, plus Jorgensen's Wheatfield and they were 
both grand.

Thanks for the list,
Alan
PS. Heading down there on 6/26 - tick, tick, tick - not coming fast 
enough, and the 5 days there will fly by like a whirl, I'm sure...
