I'd love to see what it was like back in the day, because I went in April 2011 and again in April 2013, and it was more wild than any college frat part I had ever been too... It was pretty much anything goes. Looking forward to April 2014!!!
Way wilder in the BBG days, no comparison. But I was a bit younger then. Now we have mostly moved on to GOV, GP and the occasional visit to TTR. Age gets us all.
We still do 4 trips a winter and some weeks are just as wild as the ol BBG days. Just depends on crowd. In fact we think it is better now, than the memory serves, during certain weeks
I'm just glad I can still remember back that far, LOL. You are correct, it is just a number. Sometimes my mind is willing and my body says stop. I have learned to listen to my body off and on. (although not enough)
