Is that correct? Thank you in advance. The tour to Pima is on Thursday 2 August. That is what the show website says, anyway. You gave me a fright, I thought they changed the date. I would have missed it if the tour was on the 1st, as I will arrive there on the evening of the 1st. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Sorry guys, but looks like I won't be able to make it to Phoenix for nationals. Just can't swing it between job interviews. Hope everybody has a fantastic time though, and take a lot of pictures of the experience Matt Out2gtcha and BiggTim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However much water you think you need, you need four times that much if you're going to be outside. And keep in mind that at Pima, while the hangars are "air conditioned" they are cooled with swamp coolers (evaporative cooling), not regular a/c, so they're not what you would think of as "air conditioned". They're a lot cooler than the outside, but still warm, and by dint of the swamp coolers, sometimes kind of clammy feeling. I can't stress enough - LOTS of water, and SPF 50 sunscreen. With the rain we've had we do have some skeeters out and about as well. A big floppy brimmed hat is a good idea for outdoors. I'd hate to see anyone laid out with heat exhaustion. It can happen in a flash. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Good advice, especially since most of us are not young and at the peak of fitness. In the desert heat issues can happen very, very fast. I have a table across form the ZM exhibit, and all are invited and welcome to come by and say high or hang out if you like. Looking forward to seeing everyone, Gary BiggTim, Out2gtcha, phantom and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd at least hoped to make it to Chattanooga, but it now appears that'll probably be impossible too. I must say that I envy you fellas with the ability to do these things.

The fact that I am going this year means it will be VERY unlikely that I go again for a VERY long time. LSP_K2 and williamj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local IPMS club has hosted the convention twice, the last time being 1991, and I really wish we'd get it again, but that looks very doubtful, for a variety of reasons.
