Re: Back on line!

I saw that come through, thank you! Completely unexpected and didn't expect my message to elicit a donation. Cost and time were two hurdles to overcome for this update. Glad it's coming together.

Back on line!

Sincere apologies for this Community tab being stunted for a few months. It's a wonderful reference for our wind communities history and what I went to for my on topic fix back in 2004.

Where's the conversation?

This website was built in 2002. Pre Go-Daddy, and before the social sites like Facebook took over the gravity of conversations. You will find a healthy amount of conversations still happening in a variety of both public and private social pages like https://www.facebook.com/lakawamn/ https://www.fac...

For example: snowboard...
