Sorry, but after all my planning, e-mails, and questions, I simply won't be able to afford to attend the shoot this year. It's cost me about $600 to fly there and back, rent a car, etc., and I haven't even been able to find someone local or passing through to go with.

    Y'all have fun without me, out there in some of the most beautiful country on earth!

Dang! We'll miss you.
(But with that 600 bucks your saving, you should be able to put in a pretty good bid on a book or the plaque!)

Like I said, I really can't afford to spend it. I'll be casting bullets though, if that helps!
