Geez that must be nice, you could wheel a different rig each day. I'll be getting there around 3 or so, so until then I'll just play around in the rocks, get some warm up rounds in, I doubt there will be a lack of things to do.

I wanted to step up to bigger and harder stuff...so the '96 is retired to towing duties. BUT who knows what the weekend will hold. I may switch off just for fun sake.....automatic tranny rules for wheelin....still gettin used to wheelin with a stick...alotta new tricks to learn(fancy footwork)....Geez..im startin to sound like a newbie again...

I tried talkin Mary into wheelin the 96 but she would rather just sit passenger side and complain (Oh did I say that...I mean sleep).

I appreciate it Brett! I'm probably going to take the full day on Thursday, because I may be finishing my modifications that morning before I can leave to go to Tellico. Not sure yet, but I appreciate the offer, but I think Doc booked us one the other day.

I called and left a message at Crawfords and also sent an e-mail - Steve has not called me or responded to the e-mail - hopefully he will soon.
If the campground is already full - we may have a problem. I have a small tent and will be alone except for Leon ( small dog ) We shall see what happens. We may be primitive camping up on the trail somewhere.

Well, if everybody will park across the drive from the campsites, then there will be plenty of space for everyone. parking in the camping space is very limiting to how many you can fit...

I'm sure we'll be fine, and if not, I won't pitch a tent, as usual and just find a spacde big enough for me to sleep on the ground. And, if it's raining, I'll just sleep in my truck.

You and Doc can crash at the cabin. We have room. We are putting up ASU and his buddy with the locked XJ. We had one bail so we have 3 people on our group.

A case of beer each. We have one bunk bed open and a futon bed. The rest are taken. Shower, kitchen, sat tv, grill, plenty of parking.

ASU and his buddy are kicking in 10 bucks a night. It's all just going to beer and food anyways. The cabin is all paid up.

I just talked with Steve at Crawford's campground - the campground is full
and he does not have any open spots - however he stated that we can have as many tents on each site that we can squeeze on - he also mirrored
Andy's comment about parking in the center and utilizing the whole site.

Jutty - count me in at the cabin - I'll bring the beer. I'm opting for the cabin because of the crowded conditions at the bath house - I'll have my air matress so the floor anywhere is good for me. Leon can sleep in the back of the runner - he likes it there anyway. Call me about the food
1-800-648-8535 - let me know what to bring or I'll just take care of me
and throw it into the pot luck buffet. Thanks for the offer !

Jutty, I might have to take you up on your offer as well. I have air matresses as well and wouldn't really need any bed space. My buddy and I are having issues drumming up a tent. I lent mine out to a buddy a few years back and it's never made it's way home, now he lives out of town and his number has changed. We're working on a tent, but if things fall through, could you put up with one more truck and a couple more boddies. Beer is on me and my leftovers, and kicking in a few dollors is no big deal.

We'll just have to play it by ear I guess, about what time are you planning on getting there again?

Stump,

I really don't mind a bit, we are at our max for what the cabin will allow, but that's a bed for everyone, so if you don't mind crashing on the floor I could care less and welcome it. Too many spring break trips to Florida and I miss those days of everyone crashing together. Makes for some fun memories.

We plan to hang at Crawfords with the gang and crash and base out of the cabin. Since we are right across the street, should make things easy.

Bring food and a cooler! We will do some big ol' group dinners and breakfast rounds. This trip just keeps getting better and better

Dude, just show up to the campground and don't worry about it. We will all fit, trust me! I don't have a spot designated for sure yet, and I'm not worried at all.
