It was a good show, we lost FOUR Jeeps on the Jeep Taxi, the taxi route WILL be more clear next year (lawyers are involved:)), the intermittent rain added "authentic" mud which helped with realism, the Vietnam battle will be removed from the schedule next year and will be given it's own weekend in the future. The Museum will be pushing for a larger role for us next year!
