Turns out my sister will be graduating this year because OSU finally decided to recognize her summer credit hours from the local CC. Her Graduation is on the 4th so I may have to bail early on Sunday for a best case scenario. Worst case is that I won't be able to make it if family has plans those couple of days prior.

Sorry fellows. I will update as I can.

I'm hoping to have a new piece of camera equipment for this trip. Just figured I'd pique your interest.

Be prepared for plenty of time waiting for me to set up! :facepalm: :finger:

The new one isn't too heavy, but the slider is still heavy. I've got the parts to make a second version of that slider, but I have yet to find the time required to modify it.

No, me too! I can never get work to give me the days off I need. I'd have to take a full weeks vacation in order to make sure I got the weekend off. I only get two weeks ( which is actually 80 hours and 10 days) and they can make me work weekends anytime, so its not even a true week off.

I've gone by there a dozen times so far this year and always sy its not fair to keep teasing me.

Full size spare tire. A/T or M/T tires. Lift is highly suggested. CB is suggested. Oil pan skid is a good idea no matter where you go. Other than that, camping gear. Did I miss anything?
