But, by and large, outdoor industry members used whatever means necessary (planes, trains, automobile, buses and bicycles) to convene on the Salt Palace, where traffic in the aisles was as heavy as ever, and booths continued to push the boundaries of the space provided by the long-time venue. 14 | <strong>InsideOutdoor</strong> | <strong>Fall</strong> 2008
