We're here..... the honest answer is that we simply don't know yet. Restrictions in Colorado are still too restrictive for us to hold the traditional event and every day that we miss right now makes it harder to pull everything together. I've been in contact with town and we currently have the building and land secured. Still no insurance which is a massive hurdle when trying to host a mass gathering event.
Cruise Moab was a shadow of the real event and that's not at all what we want for HIH, especially not for HIHX. Massively scaling down HIH makes it not HIH. No pot luck? No Saturday night meal? No coffee in the lodge? Sounds awful.
We don't want to do another virtual even either. It never came together like we had hoped. HIH is simply the gathering of all of us together and without that, it really isn't anything.
We're trying. We wish this was over but it's not. Covid cases are up in many areas around the state. As summer gets closer, more and more vacationers travel to Colorado from other states, that increases the likelihood that cases rise back up and we end up getting canceled. Spending the money and panning for an event when there's a likelihood of having to cancel last minute is a big gamble for us. We don't keep enough money in the HIH account to cover those kinds of losses and Chris and I would be out of pocket like the old days. That was easier when it was 30 people, not 300+.
Best update we have for now.
