In the Prairie states I think we'll initially see a drop in attendance, IOW, this year numbers will be lower. I equate the current gas prices with what happened in '75, everybody sold everything, RV's, powerboats, hotrods, it was the "end of the world". Within the subsequent years, the gas price became less numbing and things were quickly back to normal.

I ran an inflation calculator for the price of my Big Mac sandwich from '75 and it came out at $2.98...right on. My house from '79 came out $224,000...right on. Gas price from '75 came out at $2.26 on one site and $2.37 on another... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
