Thanks for the ping! I love looking at these pictures.

Will definitely keep IAmNotAnAnimal in my prayers.

Also, I forgot to mention that the photos in #173 are by Vinnie.

BUMP, just wondering how you're doing over there!

Here's the thread on last year's Fayetteville FReep. We'd love to see you this year if you can fit it in!
