That is a GREAT consolation prize! I love Illinois Beach SP, though I don't get there as often as I would like.

Thanks Veery - it was a great cosolation prize! IBSP is a good way away from home but its almost always worth the trip. Maybe I will see you out there someday.

I think the participants would recieve a great consolation prize. All the Best for the participants. The readers must make use of this oppurtunity.
