Thursday night I am departing the coast and plan on staying in a Charlotte area hotel, then roll in by 10 the next morning. Well it sounds good in theory, so we'll see what really happens. Paul | ||

Sorry guys, no can do, I just opened up a garage, an it's been crazy, sleepeing two hours a day, and I'll have to be here for the next couple of weeks, but this earns me the right to make it to the next event for sure...I hope... Marco | ||

Change of plans. After reviewing the map: Fron the coast I am now going to drive to Augusta Thursday night and stay there at the Hampton Inn off of I-20. Then roll into Dawsonville the next morning. | ||

Steve, When you get there, come find me. I'll be in my white D2, but without the roof rack. I'm going to have a red Bermudian flag flying on the rear door to help people locate me.  Greg | ||

Will be leaving here at 7 or so, should be rolling into the site around 11 (ish) I'm the short fat bearded guy in the red sII... | ||
| Zach Jaggers (Mountenn) Senior Member Username: Mountenn Post Number: 367 Registered: 03-2003 |
Steven, I got off work on Friday, so I can head up any time after noon. If you want me to wait, we may be able to work something out. I am worried about The Rover, though...the p.s. gearbox is still giving me a lot of grief. I'm going to get outside and see what I can do with it, and then I'll give you a call. It won't take us too long to get to Dawsonville, so we can be there Friday afternoon/evening. What time do you finish up, Steven? | ||
| Pascal Van Strydonck (Vertige) New Member Username: Vertige Post Number: 23 Registered: 10-2003 |
Sorry to be ignorant, but what is SAE and where is it?? | ||

| Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 637 Registered: 08-2002 |
Leaving Thursday after work, overnighting somewhere between Roanoke and Charlotte. Hope to arrive in Dawsonville noonish Friday. | ||
| Greg (Gparrish) Senior Member Username: Gparrish Post Number: 1554 Registered: 04-2002 |
I hope to be setup and hanging out by "noonish Friday" Can't wait to see everyone. | ||
| Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 639 Registered: 08-2002 |
Yeah well you "ONLY" have what, a 650 mile trip? And I have 830 miles....so "noonish" is as good as it gets! Try to save me a decent spot okay? We are bring the EZUP canopy for the Kitchen. | ||
| Greg (Gparrish) Senior Member Username: Gparrish Post Number: 1557 Registered: 04-2002 |
I'm bringing one of those kitchen tent things too. I usually just set it up right in front of my door. Gives me a place to hang out if it rains or anything. I'll save you a spot though if I beat you there. | ||
| Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 640 Registered: 08-2002 |
Sounds like a plan. | ||
| Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Dweb Lounge Member Username: V22guy Post Number: 2133 Registered: 02-2002 |
Hey Randy, Just try to get there during daylight hours this time. We do not want any wrong turns on the trails with your D2 fully loaded again. Depending on Atlanta traffic, it is looking good for a 10am fly in. | ||
| Zach Jaggers (Mountenn) Senior Member Username: Mountenn Post Number: 368 Registered: 03-2003 |
Damnit--The Rover is in one of those moods. Looks like if I can't get it taken care of, I won't be down after all. Wish me luck...everybody sacrifice something to the Lucas gods... Zach | ||

| Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 643 Registered: 08-2002 |
Oh hell ya Paul, we will definatly be there in daylight this time! I don't really want to run a Powerline type trail at night fully loaded again! | ||
| Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 644 Registered: 08-2002 |
Anyone know if there is potable water available at SAE? Like the water buffalo at MAR? Or another source? | ||
| Robb Sundmaker (Robb) Member Username: Robb Post Number: 109 Registered: 03-2002 |
Rans, We will have three port-o-lets there. I am not sure I understand your questions though. What are water buffalo? If you are talking about the portable sinks setup at MAR we are not having those. I lobbied for them because I loved them at MAR. | ||
| steve herrod (Sherrod) Member Username: Sherrod Post Number: 59 Registered: 02-2003 |
The water buffalo they are talking about is a water tank on wheels that people can get drinkable water from. It is usually a military item. of course there may be a "lister bag". | ||
| Art Bitterman (Aardvark) Member Username: Aardvark Post Number: 78 Registered: 05-2003 |
So should we bring our own drinking water? | ||
| Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 645 Registered: 08-2002 |
Like Steve said....basically want to know if there is a source of drinking/cooking water on site or if we need to fill up before... One other question.....are campfires permitted? | ||
| Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Dweb Lounge Member Username: V22guy Post Number: 2140 Registered: 02-2002 |
Water Buffalo that are local to Southeast Asia are given that name because whey like to hang out near water as opposed to their North American Brothern that like wide open plains and cold snowy days. Paul I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night PS: Man I hope there are fires permitted. It's going to be balls cold if not. | ||
| steve herrod (Sherrod) Member Username: Sherrod Post Number: 60 Registered: 02-2003 |
i would plan to bring your own water, the buffalo may be there, may not......fires??? we have had them before....i know there will be a few "common" fire places, but individual????not sure. remember, there are shopping centers only a few miles up the road. | ||
| Rans (Rans) Senior Member Username: Rans Post Number: 647 Registered: 08-2002 |
So is there a place to get water near the site? I sure don't want to haul it down there frm Pennsylvania! | ||
| steve herrod (Sherrod) Member Username: Sherrod Post Number: 61 Registered: 02-2003 |
you will be about 3 miles from Mcdonlds, arbys, publix, kroger, captian d's, homedepot, outlet mall etc...............you should be able to get whatever you dont want to bring down. | ||
| Robb Sundmaker (Robb) Member Username: Robb Post Number: 110 Registered: 03-2002 |
The Kroger is open 24/7. There is also a Auto Zone, Goodyear and CVS Pharmacy for car or personal needs. |
