If anybody is up for a hike Saturday morning, Raven’s Run has some nice trails. 9.30 am in their lot. Many trails to build your own loop from.

Just finishing the Four Roses tour -- I could use a nap 
so going to head back to the SHS for now, will look to join up with any dinner plan closer to town later.
EDIT: after conferring with others, I'm in for Deauville, see you there.

It was fantastic to catch up with everyone. The April events are difficult for us to attend because we are try to be in the UK over Easter for soccer matches and brewery crawling.
But for next October I will be keeping my eyes on PE prices on DL CVG-CDG to see if I can start my trip to the Loire Valley from LEX. Starting from RDU to Europe is dreadfully expensive in PE on any alliance, so I'm always looking to reposition somewhere more affordable.

Cody Dorman
On our tour the Friday afternoon at Gainsborough Farm, our guide told us about Cody Dorman and the horse Cody’s Wish and the special relationship they had. Sad news that the boy died this past weekend.
