Well, I think we need to get on this. I've been trying to do some research via Nat Parks sites, but with this gov't shutdown dont know if any of my research is worth anything. Sheeps Wallow is always an option, since we didn't get to it last time I was up there with Cody_S. However we need to get the dates down. If we're doing Nov 1-3 then i'll catch y'all next time. But if we can do it the weekend before, I'll have the opprotunity to get 4 days off (25-28).

Is this still an option for anyone later this month? Seeing that it's in my backyard, I could probably manage this.

Well I'm glad someone is still showing interest... As you can see by the time gaps of posts, it kinda died off. I'm still down for a trip, but it can't be the first weekend in nov. it'd have to be the second weekend (8,9,10) This is of course, assuming I get my front differential issue corrected in time..... Which is a huge IF

I am betting IF this were to happen over Veteran's Day weekend Bacon might get things done IF his parts get in on time. :cheers:

Legend has it that if you leave out a single Miller High Life and a Pittsburgh brand screwdriver (or an old twizzler, same strength) on your rear bumper, Mario will replace your front diff while you sleep.... But like i said, it is merely a legend.
