Only about half a month away.
I'd like some of the tentative people to really start looking at this seriously and give me a yes/no.

I really wish I had less to do between now and then to be ready for this. Well I have about everything, I just hate packing. Still debating on running the roof rack and where to mount a couple things. Got to swap spare tire.
Well, it will get done and this will be great. Nice little vacation. Maybe I will find some extra goodies at the 4x4 jamboree on Sunday.

James, you can kill this post if it's out of line...
I've got Zero's skid for TECORE about done, and have 3 more in stock, that I can bring...
If you're going to TECORE and want to cut out $20 by having me bring it to you (and by this time, I wouldn't trust shipping, given that I am going to be there, anyway), let me know in the next week, so I can get it made how you want it (with or without bolt protectors), and get it powder coated in time!
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out well.
Hopefully we'll hear some better news from some of the other tentative guys.

I also have bad news and may possibly have to miss Tecore again, yes I know I said it...it kills me too. But my buddy can no longer join me and I just simply cant afford the fuel and other expenses on my own.
I will try to find another co pilot ASAP and check back in. For now, if you could please move me back to the tentative list.

If you are interested I would like to still be able to go, I just am not able to drive. I an in north east Indiana, so if you can get to me I will be more then willing to split gas and expenses with you the remainder of the trip.
Shoot me a PM and we can work it out if your interested.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

To be frank, he is quite a few hours and hundreds of miles west of anywhere I will be traveling.
A friend of mine that I sponsor for rallycross may come on board.

You're right... For some reason, I thought you lived in Western Canada...

Any special permits or passes to be in the forest? I have an extra handheld cobra cb if someone needs one.
FYI- We got about a 10 hour or so drive and I took off Friday and Monday and believe Mike did the same. What is the schedule looking like so we can figure our plan?

Got about 1/2 dozen of those, but now that I am thinking about it...i think I have 2 of the handheld cb's.

No permits needed.
I'd really like to meet up at about noon to hit some trails. We can go back to a meeting point later in the afternoon to grab everyone else before proceeding to the campsite. I'd like to leave at latest at 4:00 pm to head up to the campsite. If we leave any later, the site may be taken - the sites cannot be reserved.
I prefer CB... FRS doesn't seem to have much range, but I have a couple of them too.

Well, I am guessing from your post your not interested in making the trip. Like I said in my PM to you, I figured it wouldn't be anything you were interested in, but I guess I still would have like to have heard back from ya.

I met you at Carlisle last year, but my truck was mostly stock then.
I guess I am out of luck for this trip. Sorry, I was looking forward to it. Hopefully things work out for a fall trip and I can make that one.
