We&#8217;re a family around here so while a lot of folks might not have seen each other in quite some time &#8211; we pick right back up where we left off without skipping a beat. We wrapped up the training with the annual BBQ in the rain.<br \/>\n<strong>IMG HQ:<\/strong> The lawn is mowed. The tents are up. New ropes are here. We&#8217;re stocked up on bacon, pancake mix, cocoa and coffee. The guide schedule is locked in and the vans have been fueled up.
