Tomorrow @ 0600 3 CAP vehicles will start rolling towards Alpena, MI from Grand Rapids, MI; each loaded to capacity with Cadets and three daring Senior Members and a whole ton of gear. What the occasion you ask? Well now... that would be the 2009 Great Lakes Region - North/Michigan Wing Summer Encampment.

This will be my third year in a row for me to make this pilgrimage; to what most people who've been there, call their 'second home'. This will also be my third and final year acting as Public Affairs Officer for it. This may come as a shock to some, I know, but it's time for me to move on to bigger and better things. What those bigger and better things are, will remain to be seen.

Do you have ideas? NESA seems like a possibility, for what, yet...maybe Archer training, Il'l have to decide. I think it would be a blast to escort for IACE.  But an important thing to remember is, no matter how much you plan for something, things can change with the beat of a heart. So who knows, right?
