Well, i just figured out that after my farewell tour and I drive back to FL, I get to FLY back to california and drive my brothers TB back to FL... Thats a lot of driving. The likelihood that i'll be able to make this TECORE is diminishing, but I still have some faith.

We're looking at a pretty good list! I can't wait!

I think a convoy will be inevitable. I've only been to 1 TECORE, but what happened was Dan (Dizzlenator) and Frank (lined XUV) drove down from MA/CT on Thursday, they stayed at a hotel in NJ for the night, then bright an early, we headed out together. We picked up BobbyBlaze along the way in DE and then met up with James in MD. It was a fun drive down.

Generally the same trails we did last time Joe. Running one in a different direction, so the obstacles will be a little bit different.

I still haven't decided on the second half of Saturday. Kinda depends on what everyone feels for... we can hit 2nd mountain and explore around there, or go deeper toward german river (which I am not really familiar with yet).
