Finally getting back around to this....sorry I have been AWOL... Long story short, I have been the sole caregiver for an elderly uncle--severe dementia, was getting worse day-by-day this spring...he passed away on June 21st. He was eating up 20-40 hours a week, plus trying to keep my business...

Thanks, Don. Sorry we won't see you...I was looking forward to checking out your TBI swap -- I'm in the middle of that right now on my CJ (following the old bustedjeep.com writeup). I might need some pointers from you soon. DP

I PM'd Cabell the other day, unfortunately, I am out, too. Working on one of the biggest work projects I have done in years, and just got word of major changes coming at another client. On top of that, found out yesterday my mom is having some health issues that will force us to stay close...

We will definitely be there again (attended in 2010). Could I possibly get a GPS track file to load to my GPS??

Cabell, Sorry, it doesn't liik like we'll make it for the weekend. I'll probably drive over Saturday afternoon to check things out. DP

Cabell, How do you want signups for food done...post here, PM or email you, or whut? Renee and I are about 90% set on this, will know for sure soon.
