Hey mad chemist

"Yeah, what is the GNP of Zimbabwe in relation to bannana exports?"

The Agriculture industy in Zimbabwe is worth 69 billion us as of last year, of which Bananas are only 3%. So just over a billion and a half dollars, which is a lot of Bananas.

But seriously I wish i could make it down, it would be good to have some crazy Canucks there.

How long we are on the trail will depend largely upon the individuals in the group and how often we have to stop to talk someone through an obstacle.

I think I could run the trail in under two hours, non-stop, but the larger the group, the more time it takes. I think a fair guess is three to four hours.

We are running the trail East to West, then returning via gravel FS roads to a paved FS road.

You will not be on the Naches after dark on the official run, unless something goes wrong and we are stuck there. I have heard rumors of some folks thinking about doing parts of the trail as a night run, but it remains to be seen if anyone is going to try it.

aight, then be straight with me.....if body damage is of no concern whatsoever, then will a stock hieght truck running 32" rvt's make it without alot of trouble? if not i may just weld the rear end tonight, but i really dont want to do that right now on my own... im just worried that if i cant do something and it takes along time that i will hold the whole group up ya know?

thanks
wade
