It was great seeing you (and a ton of others too). It's been a while since I've seen a lot of my old friends and this event was a good one. Glad they set it up.Good seeing you there buddy, and for those who missed, Mark whooped some ass and won the footlocking event
Big thanks to Nick and the Treestuff gang and A Plus for making it happen. They did a really good job!
Footlocking was not in the plan, but glad I did it. It's been a while since I tried that!

I had intended to post up about the TreeTopia event once I got back but life (and lazy) happened.
This was the best tree event I have ever been to with lots of great learning, visual stimulation, fun, people to share it with, and all in an incredible setting with great weather.
It looked like a ton of effort was put in by TreeStuff (and ?) on having fantastic instruction and A Plus Tree Service went over the top in having equipment and personnel there to make it a huge success. (Just looking around at all the supporting equipment for stations and events I guessed the value to be in the millions of $$$.)
Good vendor turn out as well - that always adds to the education, experience, and I got to buy $2,500 worth of things I've been wanting but needed more info on.
If I had to say anything negative about the event I would say it this way. As I sat in on the classes it occurred to me that with the high quality of instruction there it was a missed opportunity to not have good quality PA systems for each instructor to use to be easily heard (wind cooling us off the bay was one factor.) I eventually settled on the attitude that it was part of the price of admission to put in a little more effort on my part to hear it all.
There were more intriguing classes put on than I was able to attend given the number of class periods. I ended up having to choose which ones for which class slots given that they would or would not be offered again and inevitably ended up missing some classes I would have also loved to have attended.
As I was walking away I was clear that this was a huge success on it's first year and I hope it continues to happen in the same location and similar format in years to come. Thank you TreeStuff and A Plus Tree Service for your outstanding contribution to me and the tree service community.
