Actually I have been thinking about going sometime this week… not 100% sure yet but I will PM once I know for sure. I don’t live too far from there, so it would be pretty easy for me to stop by for you. ---

No, but I used to live in the _city_ of Mount Vernon in Washington State. Does _that_ count? 😉 ---
