I can't wait either! And I am looking forward to seeing everyone in their hats!!!

We want to see yours and please make sure /chris has something covering that dome.

My friend John Floyd (and two daughters) will be stealing...I mean borrowing his brother's stock TJ and coming along with me on Saturday. This will be his second trip to RC. I'll have to remember to tell him about the hat thing.

1 more day, can't wait! There might be a chance I would be able to ride on Sunday also but don't know yet. How many people are definitely going to be riding on Sunday?

I know for a fact that he's completely forgotten about a hat....

I have no idea. I'll try to get a count while on saturday's run. I'm trying to deal with saturday. AutoDoc almost got a "sorry kiddo the ride is closed" just now, but I decided 21 rigs is basically the same as 20....

The ride is officially CLOSED as of NOW. 21 is our limit this time!

HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!?!? IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!!

21 divided by 3 is 7. Do we have enough guides for 3 groups?

That's an idea. I have it split into 2 right now. 10 rigs each isn't too bad. There IS a method to my madness. Chris and I have all of the new people with us (or people that have been in the club but haven't run with us till now). I do not want to split them up.

God has blessed us with a great group (or 2) and I'm super happy!!! It'll be a great weekend!!!

Okay...recap:

Meet at park and be registered and aired down and ready to roll at 9am.

Meeting place: while facing the registration house, staying on the same side of the lot as the house, go to the right and around the bend. It's usually open with no rigs over that way. We'll park the three trucks I posted up right in the area. Just line up along with them. I have the list of who goes with who. Steven and Tom are going to lead group 2. Chris and I, group 1.

Bring a lunch for the trails. I am working it out so that both groups meet together for lunch.

Dinner at the Goose(exit 100) We can caravan down for those who wish to join us.

After dinner, join us camping people back at the campsites for a fire if you'd like!!!

I'm leaving in another hour and a half to head up with a couple of the guys and set up camp. We're tryig to save as many places as possible.

Chris will join us later, when he's done building the handicap ramp with the youth group kids at church.

I can be reached at 443-866-1035. Chris is 443-866-1500.

I also have internet on my phone, so I can check messages in here if there are any last minute changes, questions, etc,

See you guys tomorrow!!!

Anyone from Maryland that might be interested, I will be meeting up with a friend at the Conowingo WaWa at Route 1 and Route 136 at 6:10 AM tomorrow. If you'd like to meet up and caravan be there. My cell is 410-459-7423. I will have my CB on channel 15 and my FRS radio on 3.3. See y'all tomorrow!

Prolly a lil late to send a holler so we'll do that in the AM. We're coming out of Elkton so heading over to Conwingo sounds like a plan for us. See ya there :)

hubby thinks I'm an absolutely wreck... first time out offroading and I'm so afraid I'll forget something...

Looks like you guys had fun... Did y'all see a JK Sahara without front fender flares running around? Might have had a guy wearing a shady brady style hat? He would have been with a guy in a tan LJ Rubicon.

Just got home and unloaded the Liberty. We wanted to say we had a blast. I was great to finally meet you guys, and we look forward to coming up again. You guys made us feel very welcome. The suspension on the Liberty settled down as we drove home, and is no longer making any noise, so nothing got broken. I guess she's tougher than I thought. Patty, I'm sending you the info on Awaking.

Whrnever I go to Rausch you can guarentee it will pour down rain or snow on my way home. I'm getting tired of driving 83 through that stuff pulling a trailer. It was raining so hard that 83 started pooling in spots and I almost lost it a few times next to the metal wall. Then one of the plugs started fouling out in the Ford and it stayed that way all the way home from York to Reisterstown. I'll have to look at it in the morning. I had a great time however and it was worth everything. Hope everyone made it home safe.

Thanks everyone. I am dead tired and heading to bed.....but tomorrow, I will have a run-down,
thank yous and all that happy stuff. Right now, I hear my pillows calling.

Looks like you all had a great time. I wish I was there with you, instead of busting my a$$ extracting broken bolts from my wheel hub all afternoon on Saturday. But at least now I am ready for some real wheeling without worrying about those hubs anymore.

Yes we did see him. That thing looked good like that. Even if it is not very legal.

We did. Chris and I stopped him and told him that as we were approaching him we were like, "What's missing??" and also told him how great it looked!!!

Glad you had fun. I felt bad because I know you were worried. After more wheeling, you'll recognize the sounds. They're usually just creaks and groans. Thanks for the address, I'll check it out!

It has rained every single time Chris and I have camped out. It doesn't phase us anymore. Sorry you had a rough ride. I am so glad you had fun...we can't wait for that Blazer to be done...then you can come out more!!!
