And I'm a little amazed to keep hearing that USDAA has had trouble finding another venue with the features found in Scottsdale; surely there must be other gigantic athletic-quality fields with tons of parking *somewhere* else in the states (although there's also the issue of weather extremes--). But I sure can't think of anything in California that I've ever seen. And that means that access to Nationals is going to be limited to people who can get to Scottsdale. <BR/><BR/>For lots of reasons, I hope that they do find somewhere back eastward. For example--it's expensive to attend the nationals, and I wouldn't mind an excuse not to go. :-)<BR/><BR/>-ellenElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-13515163642311631822007-04-26T06:10:00.000-07:002007-04-26T06:10:00.000-07:00I still remember how excited I was to attend the f...I still remember how excited I was to attend the first Clean Run Camp in VA. It was like attending a Hollwood premiere. I saw people I'd only read about and here I was brushing elbows with them.<BR/>Even at subsequent camps it was exciting just being at an event like that. Plus I felt like I was getting an opportunity that I couldn't get any other way.<BR/>I'm sure it's true that those camps were responsible for a lot of the confusion I caused my dogs but I lived in an area where there were no "experts" so there was really no other way to get any instruction.<BR/>I miss the big camps, other than going to Nationals, there isn't another experience to compare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
