Dr. Zart,
Your position has made me think, admittedly a rare activity for me of late.
Please consider the following link to a submission by PacoLoco.

The experience that many have had seems to be a life altering one. So significant and powerful that it changed the course of their lives.
Many equate it to a religous awakening, Zen like, an epiphany, an early parole from the cog in the wheel on the eternal treadmill to oblivion existance we were trained to sustain through the shackling of our puritanical convictions.
Or others, perhaps, just like to jet down on a quick flight, blow off some steam, and whoop it up over a weekend effectively and efficiently in style.
Oh and by the by Sir, I think if you polled the participants on this board for A list celebs, sports greats, and rich & famous, you would be very surprised to hear the list of travelers drawn to the Gulch.
