Howdy all MN/WI/ND/SD Xmark'ers,

August 1-3 the tall ships arrive in Duluth. Our Festival of Cultures is right at the mooring, and at least one other Xmark'er will be in town. Ride the trains from our depot. Take a waterfront tour on an evening dinner cruise. Visit our excellent local pubs and bistros.

We're opening the gates on our high security picket fence for campers who want to stay on site, toast marshmallows, and enjoy late night gin and tinkering in the ECW shop. I'll give lessons on the big machinery, and turn you loose to finish your projects. We'll even have a raffle for hot showers!

Cheers,

Kevin
