One More Month!

In one more month we will be gathering at the Cloverdale Farm getting ready to kick off the 2009 National Championship.  Autumn has arrived this week in Virginia with lows in the upper 40's and high in the low 70's.  Wouldn't it be nice if those temperature stuck around for the next month?

Here's an aerial shot of the grounds, compliments of Google Earth.
