Still in. Based on the outcome of our most recent camping trip, parental unit #2 thinks it wise to keep the two littlest home with her, so now it is me and the 9 year old = hammock tent camping = 10 minute setup/teardown and less cooking.

I can bring a big camp chef 3 burner grill with griddle and grill box if you want me to. Everyone can cook on it. Not a lot of heavy wheeling and I'm not taking the kids since I'll have just spent a whole week in the mountains with them the week before. Just me and the dog. I'm bringing the 80 so I'll have plenty of room for all kinds of crap.
Could I please be put on the waiting list for this trip?

Sounds good to me!! I'm going to bring a pop-up this year in case it rains again. If it does, we can set up that stove under the pop-up.

Done!
I'm still on the list but the truck is having some issues. After installing a bad ass lightbar on the rear (pictures to come 
), the truck now stumbles at idle. I was wiring up the relay in the dark and it is very possible I knocked a vacuum line loose. I have visually searched and haven't been able to find a crack/tear/loose hose anywhere. I'm going to try the carb cleaner trick next and hopefully find a leak.

Truck is running good now.
I would prefer posting here but would be fine with email chain as well.

Well seeing how it's unlikely that 3 people will drop out, I'll choose the post here option (to avoid a lot of e-mails that may turn out to not be necessary)
Who is bringing their wife(s) and kid(s)? We are leaving the dogs behind but the wife and kids will be coming.
1 boy, no dogs, no wife.

In terms of mapping applications, some of the guys this past week at Windrock told me about an app called Maplets:
Maplets - Android Apps on Google Play
It's $3 and every single map is free once you've paid for the app. It downloads maps so you can use them when you're out of cell signal range and the maps appear really good so far!! My favorite feature though is that it searches for maps around your immediate area, so if you happen to have cell phone reception, you don't have to search for a map around you, it shows you what maps lay out your immediate area!!!
Not sure if this program allows you to save tracks or anything yet (haven't tried / not interested in that) but it puts a wonderful little blue dot on the map of your choosing, showing your immediate location, which is immensely helpful. 6 of us used this program all week in Windrock and I tell you, we would have gotten seriously lost a few times without it.
If you can spare the $3, go download this app!!

Johnny, put me on the waiting list if at all possible, or we can figure out another weekend also.
Two other mapping apps I use are Gaia and Backcountry Navigator. Both allow you to track also.

This is one of the few events that's locked to ONSC members only. Feel free to join up my man, it's only $40 a year
ONSC Membership – Olde North State Cruisers
That said, impromptu trips up there are not member locked, so we can hit it up later this fall on our own if you'd like!

I wouldn't mind paying the money to be a member at all, but that being said I want to make sure there is a spot for me also. And from the looks of it, there's a waiting list too. What do you think I should do?
There is a trip in August , and one next weekend with low country
I will be going with Son or Daughter.
@GLTHFJ60 just go ahead and put me on the waiting list...I know there's like 4 other people on there, but ya never know. If not I'll get in on one of the trips later in the summer.
