Took antennas down and everyone started breaking down camp to return home except Whitley and Emery and their wives
who left to go a different campsite to extend their stay in the Mountains.
Total of 12 people there for FD nice group,great social group. 
We had company one day of the Rangers and a group of sight-seers she was taking to visit various rock formations
in the area,Emery helped guide them to several spots.
Hope to have more people involved next year from both clubs.
