Since I will have the GN with me, I plan on crashing on that. Anyone else that has an air mattress that wants to crash on it is welcome.

I wasn't planning on chili. The food at the arena was pretty good last year and I figure doughnuts for breakfast. The burgers sound good and we can all pitch in some $$$.



Hopefully before I hook to the sled. I am not to worried about the transmission......if it has some carnage...oh well. But I don't want any OTHER carnage.


As I type to you from the Dallas County jail....with my rookie working on a robbery arrest report.......

Robert will have is grill and a stove in his camper. Sounds good and we will all share the expense.

I think Rob can get his trailer under the canopy, so at least you'll be covered.

Robert,
Are you bringing your generator? I have to drill 8 holes in my frame to mount my airbags, I don't think my cordless is up to that.
On a related note, does anyone have a corded drill they can bring?

Thanks,
~Rob

Rob I can bring my generator, and I usually do, just because. But we will have electricity there. They have water/electric at each site. I have a cheapo corded drill I can bring. We may need it anyway, putting on my Ladder bars.

Oscar, my mom, and step dad will probably be coming up for a few hours on Sat eve... Should be interesting!! Told David he should throw some mud grips on the Range Rover and go ahead and hook! He politely told me he didn't want to break the sled!

Looking forward to it guys!
