Do you guys have a permanent facility where you leave stuff set up between gaming weekends? 
Are y'all just renting a meeting room from a hotel?
These games are gorgeous and take up a lot of space, and I'm just curious what you do between game weekends.

I've been to the website and it looks like they have a fairly large clubhouse for dedicated gaming space with loads of terrain on hand.
