But we should have enough people that are going that remember the layout of the mountain that someone else can lead that day.


Are you still coming in late on Friday? I'm in Nashville on Friday till 12:00 and then would have an eight hour drive in. I'm supposed to be at a conference in Virginia Beach the next week. So being that close, I don't see how I can pass up the opportunity.

Being my first Tecore, I have no idea where I'd meet up with you all on Friday night.

Going:
JamesDowning(might arrive Friday night)

TrailShaman (Jamie)
firefox2501 (Mike) + 1 passenger
v7guy (Jason)
TBYODA (Robert) + dvanbramer88 (Dave) + 1 passenger (Scott)

Maybe:

There's still a chance that I will be late. Trying to feel out my work load at the moment. I'd meet you in the Roanoke, va area. When would you be going by that city on 81?

As in, advance. Meet earlier. Leave earlier. Drive faster. Do what you gotta do.

What time would you be coming through? It might not work out.

In the spirit of fun I plan on leaving the DLSR home this trip and shooting with my Polaroid 450, it's at least 40 yrs old and I haven't used it in over 8 yrs. Takes awesome B&W pics.

Polaroid quit making it but fujifilm makes film that works with it, I ordered some last night, I have only used the polaroid film before so it could take some getting use to the new film. Ordered a new battery too even though my current ones show a good charge(they are 10yrs old).

Made up a design for a TECORE X shirt, if there is enough interest we can have them made up, with this small of a group they aren't as cheap, looking at about $22 each, but no shipping cost cause I'm just gonna bring them with me. Just let me know what you think! Should have some decals to give out as well if I will get off my ass and go make them.

Tactical as F**K those shirts be. Maybe I'll drive up there just for a shirt.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.
