Okay, so it sounds like you won't need to bring a tent or any cooking stuff. I should be able to get firewood, but not that fancy sawdust stuff roadie likes. 330 sounds good, since google says around 4 hours to get there. I'll route out the trip and give you a copy, since we'll want to avoid toll roads on the way down there.. iI need to get together food and beer, so knowing what everybody does and doesn't drink will be helpful, as well as food allergies.
Anything else I'm missing? Spare cash, flashlights with extra batteries, shovel for latrine, frs radios, firewood, tent and sleeping bag, and lanterns. Food and beer for consumables, bags for trash, paper towels or wet ones for cleaning up, my entire watersupply, and i will be bringing the misters too. Jeff, I'm g80less as well, but I've heard that the 06+ stabilitrac can do some pretty trick things, so i'm eager to test it out.
-edit: posted from a cellphone, so i'm sorry for caps and spelling errors... typing on a really tiny keyboard.

I am also very interested in the dynamics of the Stabilitrac on a lumpy hill climb, although I wish you could turn off the yaw sensor and keep the wheel slip control.

I'm still hoping to bring out my busted up trailer. Just took off the hinges - yesh. Scrap metal. But, the poles don't look all that messed up so I'm trying to stay optimistic
