Yah, most frequent flyers know this about Canada. There's an appeal process, but the nature of his case's disposition is critical.

Yeah, he's going to go through it, but there is no way it will be done before this install is done.

I just called to make reservations. I was told that they do not make reservations for the primitive sites and all I need to do is show up.

Cool

I still expect to be there around 8pm. I'm looking at ways to be earlier so I don't have to set up in the dark. v7guy and Moots1288 expect to be there Friday night around Midnight. AJ and Barton are both sounding like Sunday Only.

Barton, I don't know your co-worker, but they are welcome to come spend the whole time with us. I would just need to know if I should expect them or not. I don't bite. Well, maybe nibble a little. haha

This is pretty fricking awesome guys. They just changed the Calendar for the Badlands for Saturday October 19. It is no longer, Customer Appreciation Day. It is now, TREC... AND Customer Appreciation Day. This is what they have to say about Trec.

TREC is Trail Racing Endurance Circuit
a.k.a. FOOT TO THE FLOOR - AVOID THAT TREE - FLY THROUGH THE AIR - KEEP IT ON AT LEAST TWO WHEELS RACE!
TREC started in 2009 and was the first series to bring desert style off road racing to the midwest!

Erik, is that what you were secretly practicing for on T-9? When you almost walked the ass end into the tree drifting on Long run road?
