Yeah, I know where I'd like to hit, but since I trashed my front diff, I'm on hold for a bit longer. I was hoping to have my new tires by now...

Haha... well I finally got my regearing all done, but my schedule really kinda sucks between now and November.

So I'm thinking 7-9 of November. Thoughts? Who's in?

Should give everyone enough time to plan time off from work, etc.

Thanks for keeping me on track Mike.

Great, hope you can make it Jamie.

Any other thoughts on the dates? Might be a bit colder, but it should be good camping weather.

I am a go for this date. It should be noted that the full moon is on the 6th, so sitting around the camp fire will be fun!

Hmmm, so everyone would be meeting on the 7th and dispersing the morning of the 9th. Is that correct?

If so... count me in!! I'm willing to take off the 6th and the 10th if needed!

Bring the bacon, bitches. I'm bringing the dirty...

Those dates are good for me as long as I get the truck and the move done. Hopefully it all works out!
