Hi Aristotle,
If you've seen "Wicker Man", you would know that only the pure of
spirit are at risk in this kind of event. And while there may be "pure
spirits" meeting their demise at Buses Of The Corn, we have yet to see
a single camper unaccounted for. I'll leave you to draw your own
conclusions about that.
AFAIK no-one from SD is attending, but we do have two buses coming in
from Nebraska and one from Kansas. Are you scared yet?
Happy trails,
Greg Potts
