Night and day difference between those two. After the first one, I almost didn't do another TECORE.

Depends on what money I have available at the time. I'm hoping some new wheel bearings will help a bit with mileage.

This might end up as wife-core. I know if Erik goes, Stacey will be with him.

Anyways, after that sidetrack... heard from another guy. He's a maybe for now until he posts up here. Sounds like he's doing whatever he can to make it.

Trying to figure out vacation for this now. How does the setup work? Trip start Friday morning and end Sunday afternoon? It's about a 10-11 hour drive, depending on where the start point is at, so trying to get a feel for what days I would need to ask off. I can dig back through older TECORE threads if the same rules apply, just want to be sure.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.

yeah, basically we meet up at walmart friday morning at 8 or 9, whichever the group decides, then head off to the mountain. Generally Sunday morning we get up, exit the forest, and everyone airs up and parts ways. Usually it's somewhere between 12-3 when we actually leave the area.

we don't allow fires at TECORE... James will never tolerate massive fires, or dragging in logs behind his truck, or busting out 3 chainsaws to split firewood. No alcohol or cigars either. Jason is Mormon and will NOT tolerate that.
