	I have wondered about this show for years and would have been
tempted to go this year if the camper hadn't been froze solid to the
ground. :-(   I looked at it again yesteday and the jacks under the
front corners are 3 inches deep in ice.

	Did you take any pictures while you were there?  It would be
interesting to see some.  Also, are there any facilities for bathrooms
or hookups for the campers or is it like Portland where you had better
be self contained?  And one big final question, how was the food?

	Oh yes, one final final question, what did you find for bargains
at the swap meet?  Florida shows are big on hog oilers but I never found
much in the way of good parts or other stuff.
