Meet implies sitting in a parking lot and talking... which is what people with street tires do!

Well technically we would be at wat-mart when this would happen and doing above for a few and would not be a event until we hit the dirt. LOL JK

2 tarps in my tool box. I have the ability to sleep on my back seat, so if it rains, people are welcome to the tarps.

If I leave at 6pm I can make it by 8am tomorrow morning, but I will be so high on caffeine pills....

Possible rain, eh? That is the straw that broke the camel's back - I am bringing a commercial canopy. It is 10x10 and a pain to setup by myself, but I sure one of youse guys will help me out with it...

I was torn because it takes more space than I wanted to use up...

(the tarp and the 1000' roll of 550 cord were already in the truck...)

Is Mike on the road yet?

I wish this weather forecast would solidify, it keeps jumping around.

Mike 'Fox', thanks for bringing the canopy. Hopefully we won't need it.

Can't sleep. Too excited. Just been laying in bed starring at the ceiling since 9-9:30.

Had half a mind just to leave now and sleep in my truck when I get there.

Jason texted me at 9:45 that he's just going to bed. Apparently they are leaving at 1am or 2am. He worked last night and has been welding/working all day.
