Russ - Big thanks to you and Florence for all the information being posted. We all appreciate your time and effort.
Congrat's to you and Florence for the RJ in the Derby, and to all the other winners!!
Just a few notes - The Open 1st series was a land quad! Pretty tight with a retired check down bird between the flyer and 3rd bird. Long retired gun was about 350 yards off to the left. 2nd series land blind was around 400 yards through the flyer station with the line 90 degrees from where the line for the marks were. The flyer station was 300 yards from the line and the blind was on the line to the 3rd bird in the quad. Big bush in front of the line, and cut the corner of the pond. Wind was quartering left to right.
Amateur 1st series was a triple, retired middle check down bird, long out of sequence flyer(left) and retired go bird. 2nd series of the Amateur was a blind and a mark. The dog and handler were on the mound to see the mark go. The handler then turned the dog around on the mound, the handler went down behind the mound and did a remote send to the blind. Then they picked up the bird. 3rd Series water blind was around 250 yard, long entry then shorline out and to the bird.
Qual 1st series was a double, short flyer and log retired gun with a blind up the middle. I didn't see the water blind but I heard it was going to be a channel concept.
Didn't see any of the Derby setup!!
The weather was beautiful Friday and Saturday. Warm with a bit of wind!
That's all I have. I can't wait to see how it all turns out!!

I hope someone reciprocates next week when we have a dog in but nobody on the grounds. I will be glad to give my phone # to anyone willing to call me with reports.
I will be at the Nor Cal trial all three days. I get excellent satellite reception there for my laptop, but just in case I have a problem, email me your number and I'll call you if I need too!!
