Re: CULT: iris tour?

Linda:

In our part of the country, 100 miles gets us nowhere.  Two weekends in a
row several of our iris club members drove to Albuquerque, about 240 miles,
to visit iris gardens.  This coming weekend I have to drive to Santa Fe,
about 280 miles. to judge at an iris show.  It's all interstate travel, but
it takes time.
