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? |

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. |

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. |

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, 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. |

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". |

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. |
