Steve, Becca and I will be going. We will come through travelers rest. We can meet at Sun Rift. We can meet at 9:30. That should give us plenty of time.

Sounds good. Warning:<<bwoop bwoop>> I'm slow on switchbacks! As long as I stay around 30 mph or higher I can cruise though.

Just got back from Alaska and trying to get caught up.....looks like we are still on but headcount seems up in the air right now. If anyone needs a place to stay Friday or Saturday nights we have plenty of room and not far from the parkway.

 

[Sidingman]

Ty and I are in.

I think Ty and I can make it to the Pisgah shin-dig. I'm not going to speak for Liz, but there's a possibility for her too. I'll just show here some of the pictures that Marshall posted.

JP

What's the status on the AM trip, JP? If it's just Ty and I, we may try and join you. It's rare when I get the chance to take the 80 off-road.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

well I hate to be the buzz kill here but it looks like I am out on this one............ apparently I was unaware when I committed to this ride that this was the same day as Mary Ellyn's mom B-day. So I will be in Greenville celebrating

sorry to everyone that was interested in the Ivestor Gap ride.......... if anyone is still interested in checking it out just let me know and I will tell you where you need to go, the trail is easy and scenic
