Getting closer on where I might be. Any good year round vaulting and training in the Tampa area or even a reasonable commute away? Thanks!! Bubba

I was there yesterday and today and loved it. I may be spending more tiome there and possibly even moving there for a business partnership. Any other input or suggestions of areas or things to do is great. Thank you! Bubba

Wilson - had fun at Kel's wedding? Looked like fun. Very happy for them.

A great time. Kellie married a really great guy.

The other Bubba buried a pig and some venison for the reception. Those of us who helped prep got to eat some straight out of the ground.

If you are in the Tampa area, the newly formed Florida Pole Vault Academy will be running year around pole vault club practices. You can either join the AAU club, and practice year around, or come to one of our many camps, or free pole vault safety clinics. We work with everyone from beginner to elite vaulters. Look at the website for more information at http://www.floridapolevaultacademy.org
