[ft-l] $189.50,

[ft-l@mailman.backcountry.net (Daryl)]

We use to utilize Boy Scout and Girl Scout Camps until they became too 
expensive for us to use for our conferences.   It is just very difficult to 
find a place to have a conference with the number of people we have attend.

It was also discussed once that maybe just have the meeting at a conference 
hall or hotel and not have any camping and outdoor events.
