Thanks for posting that, Jeff. I know it's mostly a "nostalgia piece" to many, but this is a man who truly helped shape the industry. I cannot recommend a trip to Castle Park highly enough....really , in many ways, Bud Hurlbut was the man who put the ideas of the dreamers into action. I wish Lonnie Lloyd all the success in the world - he clearly caught "the bug" from Bud.
