First pee, then DP! Added just a bit' Captain Morgan....

We had 10 groups out here in the land of Herriman. I just think it is so cool that Adam's dad likes Led-Zeppelin.

Our 5th tour. 5 years of fun!!!

Hey Reef Tour Hosts!!!!

I have been following this list most of the day and was able to make it to about 5 houses today( I started at 3:00pm). Thank you so much for inviting us into your homes and showing us the fruits of so many hours of labor. I would have liked to make it to more homes but unfortunatly I ran out of time. I have only been involved in the club for a little over a month and I have learned a ton from you so far. Please keep up the good work!!

If I may offer some suggestions for next year's reef tour --

I was planning on taking my parents to a few homes ( they are both huge scuba/snorkling fans ) and was unable to get in contact with them until late this afternoon because they had been out of town. It turns out that they passed a reef tour sign and didn't know that it was open to the public. I believe that if they were able to gain more info from the sign, that they would have stopped on their own. I think that if the signs were a bit more informative then many more people would show up (drenching rain or not). May be add a blurb or two about what the tour is and who can participate.

Do you think it would be a good idea to split the tour into sections? Say, North salt lake on one weekend, south salt lake on another, ogden, provo, etc. You could even go according to seasons so that every couple of months there is an event. I think that a year is a long time to remember that their is a sweet reef  tour sometime in October. Unless you are a member then you don't remember. This would provide you with better word of mouth advertizing due to the elongated time frame  and the reefers would be able to check out the other tanks as well. I would have liked to tour further north and south, but didn't have the time to get out of salt lake. I believe it was 44 houses, no way could I have seen them all. And if I decide to show my tank  next year then I will miss out on the clubs tanks at their finest.

Anyway, I had a blast and I can't wait until next year! I would like to thank everyone again for their hospitality (online and offline).
 
Sincerly,

Thanks, Jeff! We have been doing our Reef Tour for 10 years! This was a
special anniversary edition! I'm really glad you enjoyed it because we love
doing it!

I think about the tour for the whole stinkin' summer!

Sometimes during the year, we have impromptu mini-tours, for certain
areas. So far, we've let those areas kinda handle it on their own. Getting
ready for the annual tour is pretty time consuming for those involved and
when it's over, I'm glad! But, after a few months, I get pumped again!

Keep watching the MB. Somebody will start a mini-tour!

Showing your tank doesn't mean you miss out on any tanks! You still
have the guide? PM anybody! I'm sure they will love to show you their
tank. I have never been turned down when I've asked to see a tank. We
have 360 other days to see tanks, right? (Adam, you'll notice I've left out
Mom's Day, Spouses Birthday, ect!!!).

You are welcome to see our tanks any time! And, contrary to the mis
rumors going around, I do NOT have a chemistry lab. (It's a biology lab)

I didn't match my number of 70 last year but it was a pretty busy day.  I ended up with a total of 55.  Thanks to all that came I enjoyed showing  my tanks.  Like Suzy said, if anyone wants to come by and look or come back and look or even come back and buy frags just call you're always welcome.

I didnt have very many at all. Total maybe 15. However The people that did stop by were very nice. It was a pleasure having them over. I must just have a bad location.

I can't stop thinking about how much fun this years tour was. Thankyou to everyone making it all happen and to those hosting an visiting. Let's do it again in 11 and a half months.

Are there any other Herriman reefers who want to host next year?
