                      I’m afraid I can be there only in spirit. I had my flights booked two months ago … and then good old Untied Airlines cancelled one flight in each direction, making the trip totally untenable. Nor can I afford to drive due to gas prices (like the airlines, another example of unregulated capitalism having gottten so out of control it now works against more of us than it works for).

                      What I’ll miss most is getting to see old friends and allies in the good fight, and meeting new ones. Go if you can. BHA’s grassroots structure offers each of us a rare opportunity to stand for something we believe in, and not have to stand alone.

                        It’s not very good business to cancel a flight and not work with the person to get them a different arrangement, even if it is with another airline.

                        I’m still hoping to get my work schedule set so I’m able to make it.

                          Would love to be there. Just joined BHA recently myself, but Boise is a bit far for me to fly to twice in one year. Have fun everyone.

                                I and my wife were lucky enough to spend the weekend in Boise at the BHA rendezvous. I have to give kudos to the Idaho chapter for the great job they did. It was a very good and humbling experience to spend time with so many folks that are giving what they can to help protect our forests and wild places as well as our hunting and fishing experiences, and we are proud to be a part of such a great organization.

                                Thank you for the great time!

                                  Glad you had a great time, Troy! I too am continually humbled by the many quality people I’ve met through BHA. The Rendezvous was truly inspirational for me, and I don’t throw that word around lightly.
