| 3/22 Shakedown run? Gents,
I am making every effort to attend this ride with my Cruiser. I've had it since Labor Day weekend of last year and have yet to hit the trail.  To say I'm jonesin to wheel is a minor understatement.
Like 4rnr I'm probably gonna head up Friday after work and stay at the hotel (if they're open). Makes for a long day Saturday otherwise. If anyone is interested in riding Sunday I could be convinced to drive up Saturday instead to wheel the following day. An extra day of riding makes my fuel bill look less painful too.
How about it? Who else is planing to make the ride?
Nick |

| I know tom wimberly (TNT4x4) doesnt post here but he is planning on coming down and he might bring his bronco (its sweet). I think he said he is going to try to get Steve (Cliffs owner) to come as well now that he has a rig. The both of them havent been to the badlands in many years... My other buddy Joe (Joez) might make it as well.

| That weekend is the front end of our Spring Break but I'm thinking it should work out for one long day Saturday.

| Depending on my parts install progress I might bring the 62 for a debut run. If not then the FJC gets the honors.
After seeing Tom's rig this past Sunday I'd love to see that in action!

| I'll be there. That Friday is Good Friday, would anyone be up for wheeling Friday and Sat? The boys have off school and I really want to wheel, and it would be nice to make the trip a little more worth while. Diesel is EXPENSIVE!! Say like noon Friday. I think we are going to stay over in Danville IL though, got the indoor pool to keep the boys entertained...
