Well, it looks like Mario changed the first post and title to say the 27th (without posting again in the thread, to say "hey, it's ___ date, confirmed. I edited the first post").

I'm out for this one.

I'll start a summer TECORE thread, shortly.

Correct, Kyle... We'll have to hit Badlands or Redbird this spring...

My comp restarted right after I edited the post. I'm posting now to say that.

It looks like many are good for 4/27-4/29, so we'll plan accordingly.

I'm sorry if some of you can not make this weekend, hopefully we can get a Summer Trip going as well.

So many people, so many schedules, there's basically not a weekend where everybody is going to be able to make it...

I posted a feeler thread for dates for the summer one...

We'll be driving up through FL on my way home Weds. April 25th, I don't know your flexibility on days but you could follow me up to my house, crash in the guest room and convoy to Tecore friday morning

I should be in the Orlando(I don't remember where you said you were moving to but it's centeralish) area sometime late weds night so you wouldn't even need a extra day off. Same on your way home you can crash if you feel the need.

Ooh, are we doing the wife thing? If so, that will add an extra component - convincing the wife to try two consecutive nights camping! Her involvement will also be pending weather. Haha.

She's off so I can't leave her by herself or she'd kill me.

She did good on the Island but it has facilities. will need to get a good camping toilet, maybe a shower.

a long drive down, not sleeping well for two nights and a long drive down can get dangerous.
