I appreciate the offer, I've got an old one sitting in the garage, just gotta make sure it still works. I'll check it out tonight and let ya know.
I think I have the basics covered.

Just got referred here by a member on youtube. Haven't been on here for ages but now that I'm out east here living in VA I'm definitely down to go! :) I Haven't been off-roading now since I moved out here from Colorado and am dying to go! I have an 03 Envoy with mark's 3" lift, 89 front springs, z71 rears, bilstein hd all around(Tahoe rears), oilpan/radiator steel skids, 265-70-17 general grabber at2's, 1.5"wheel spacers, gibson exhaust, PCM tune, CAI, and that is about it I believe she's also 4wheel drive!

Anywho, I watched the video from the last time you guys went and my favorite part was when you all went through the creek!

(I'm going to post this a few times so it get's exposure):

To any member coming to TECORE VII that departing anywhere North of Pennsylvania:

Please contact me via PM or email as we would like to group up/convoy down at some point along the way.

If we can a good group from the North to go down together, I'm sure we can meet up with anyone else North of the location for this event.

Once we can get an indefinite number, I'll try to blast an email out to all involved.

Got all of my camping stuff together today. So excited.

To everyone: I have a big 3 burner stove that runs off of a 20lb propane tank. I'm bringing it, and I am willing to share with anyone that needs to cook but doesn't have a stove to bring. I'm also bringing venison steaks and maybe some venison chili if i have any left over.

I'm looking on google earth trying to get an address for my GPS, Is this the Super Walmart at the intersection of 42 and High Street/John Wayland Highway? There is a Food Lion one block north on High Street. An Exxon, Arby's, and KFC in the same vicinity?
