I’ll be leaving in a little bit for Mountain T.O.P. summer opening, which is a dinner and commissioning service for the college-aged summer staff who will run our camps. Hopefully, I’ll post some photos late tonight when I get home.

Until recent years, opening was held Memorial Day weekend, when the staff members were arriving for their training. I like holding it at the end of training much better.

Unfortunately, a scheduling fluke meant that today is also the 50th anniversary celebration for George and Rene Bass, Mountain T.O.P.’s founders, in Nashville. I’m sorry I’m not there to give George and Rene my love and regards.
