I'm finally into the 40's! Spent the last three days wandering around some nice little canyons with @slc_dan and @Ndheiner. Off to Mexico in the day after tomorrow for a whole week. Do I get to count it as a bag night if my room has one of those bug nets draping over the bed??

Dave! I thought you were going to have a weak year. Obviously whatever didn't slow you down - it sped you up.

 

[DAA]

Well... I have had a good run the last 8-9 weeks or so, that is for sure. I definitely won't be making it to 60 this year though. But no complaints here!

I will be happy to get close to 50 nights, but right now there is no chance to go.
I will try to catch up in December, but it seems you will get your top spot again
