So who's coming and when?

I'm going to be there Thursday at lunch thru late Sunday. The who family is coming Friday- Sunday. Looks like I'm bringing the UC and the ONSC canopys up with me and setting us up a base camp for the group. I've got some peeps behind the scenes that are going to try and reserve us a nice spot close to the river. Will see what I can do.

So who's coming and when?

Marshall,
My son-in-law will be there. He will have a booth demonstrating his offroad/expo app and he is slated to host a seminar on using software for GPS mapping.
Good luck with the weather this year and the new venue.

Sherry and I went up for the day Friday....not the best of weather and a bit of a frustration to wait in line to get into the Biltmore and then to get on a bus to ride from Antler Village to the Expo site. There were still vendors arriving and setting up at noon on Friday. We were amazed at the size of the event and how many people were already there......Visited some with Marshall and Steve Eby (@aquatech3), got a tour of Steve's Teepee/Yurt (quite impressive) and got to meet the infamous @HENDOG at Marshall's booth (if you could call it that...more like an area). Wish i had gotten a picture with him!
We then headed to Antler Village and did some wine tasting and headed home before it got dark. Next year we will either look to camp or stay on site at the Inn and participate in some classes!

A sweet ride parked at Antler Village where we caught the bus to ride to the Expo Area.

As we were waiting for the bus to pick us up to ride back to Antler Village I spotted a sticker of our company's early logo (mid to late 90's) on a box on the roof of a nice Defender 110:
