Hope everyone’s holiday weekend is wrapping up nicely. I’ve been on the couch with a decent case of the flu so posting obviously ceased to a halt. This photo taken from about a week back kinda sums up how I’ve been feeling lately, so sorry for the downtime, folks. I wish we were up for posting more, I really do. Our team will surely step up this week, as there’s tons to cover in Jam on the River, Sasquatch, and Summer Camp. Here’s to hoping my head doesn’t explode from sinus pressure first…
