News from Mike’s visit
Mike passed along last nights report via email that I thought you all might like to read. The new room 8127 is pretty nice. Didn’t see it in daylight but from the direction and building layout it should have a great view of the river and valley out toward Marcola. A couple comments she madeContinue reading “News from Mike’s visit”
