Well Larry since you are begging.LOL. Man that what thay make sick day for. Just messing with you. It would be cool if you could go but I understand. I am going to bring my video camera so hopefully I'll get some good videos. I will also bring my normal camera but you know how well that thing works.

Hear hear.

Sunday River Maine this upcoming weekend

Drummond Island later this month

Lot's of traveling but August & maybe September are probably my only times to hit the trails this year. I'll see what I can do with late September. The combination of training and hitting some trails would be good.

The areas around Murphy NC sounded like great offroading before they closed that park.

 

[JoshuaL]

Yeah Tellico was an awesome offroad park. I really miss it. But there are still a lot off fun offroad places around Murphy and North GA. Like Beasleys knob in Blairsville GA. If I'm not mistaken they went to Beasly's last year.

I've secured my cabin. As it turns out it's not setup how I thought. The cabin only has one fold out couch that can fit two. In other words: a happy couple. The other beds are in the one room where my family and I will be. If somebody wants to claim that couch, be my guest. If anyone else wants to bring a cot or sleep on the floor, they are also welcome. Just remember that the rules on post #16 apply!

It's not looking too good for me anyhow.

Recon do you happen to know when they are sending out the packs or whatever it is they are sending us for registering?

 

[ReconH3]

No clue Send Michael an email. If you are not in a rush, I have to call him and can ask him.

 

[JoshuaL]

No big deal, just wondering. Thanks though

 

[ReconH3]

Me too.

 

[ReconH3]

Talked to Michael. Those who signed up will get an email just before event. There will be packages, but to save money in this economy, they will give it to you when you check in at the event. Any other info I will post it up here.

 

[JoshuaL]

Awesome thanks man

Looks like I will be taking dance lessons with my daughter that weekend in preparation for her wedding. Unfortunately I am out. Was hoping to finally meet recon and some of the southeast folks.

 

[ReconH3]

Bring her along. You can practice your dance moves next to the camp fire.

[ReconH3]

Counting down the days! Truck performed well this weekend when we tested at Uwharrie. Can't wait to try it up in the mountains.

 

[Hans3T]

Work is keeping me from this one. Hopefully next time -- and hopefully we can meet-up sooner.

 

[ReconH3]

Getting last minute touch ups and packing done. I'll leave tomorrow early so I can help out the organization. Even though I'm a bit under the weather, this should be fun.

 

[ReconH3]

All packed and ready to roll. See you guys there!!!!

 

[kflips]

Have a great time. wish I could be there

 

[ReconH3]

Next year it might be closer to your area and you can go.

 

[ReconH3]

As soon as I got there I ran into Joshua and his white H3. Thing looks so much better in person than in the pics. Love the black white combo. Will get some pics later.

I've been having too much fun to take pics. Plenty of people have so I'll try to collect them and see if I can get them up.
