I know what you're saying about gas, I'm thinking of taking my wifes accord 37mpg vs my tacoma 21mpg....I would love to have the truck down there but I'd cut my gas cost in half with her car. Decisions decisions.

That is exactly why the truck hardly leaves the drive. Xa @ 37mpg gets me round trip what it takes the truck just to get me there.

Oh wow - I haven't talked with you all in ages, it seems like. I am going to be there with my man, Eric, and will be looking for you all - that is, if we can join you in the TT area camping? We are the Blackburn Trail Center Caretakers this year and are coming with a 2007 Sobo who is flying in from Seattle. We will try to bring down any thru-hikers from the Blackburn if they want to come.

We would like to bring some food or something cool for trail magic. Is there anything we can bring that will compliment what you already planned? Is Hyway bringing oysters again? Will there be a TT sign? We are going to bring a Blackburn one - teehee!

I'll look into cooking a big pot of chowder this year. I'll have to prep on Wednesday since I'll probably leave for TD's on Thursday. Who else is getting there Thurs?
Dub

Dub I will be getting there on thursday around 11 am ...
I will have a big grill and stove for any one to use....

If your stove can support a big pot I think I'll have to take you up on that offer. I really wanna take my wifes car but it can be overloaded with stuff quickly vs the truck. Is it a Coleman?? If so I'll bring ya propane tank.
Dub

Dub...sorry I won't be coming with you!!!...but maybe we can meet after Trail D and do lunch or dinner in Columbus or nearby!!!!..Would LOVE to meet the wife!!!!

So far the forecast looks good, but doesn't it ALWAYS rain during Trail Daze. What do you guys think about putting up a group tarp so we can sit around at night and get drunk and not get wet? I have couple of tarps and poles I can bring.

sounds like a good plan. I think last year was the first year it didn't rain, but it was an anomaly.

I got a call from the "shop" day before yesterday. The 24 items I ordered (custom made, mind you) are ready! I'm going to pick them up this afternoon.

If there are more than 24 East Coast Trekkers, there may be trouble. Big trouble.

I'm bringing one of those 10x10 easy up shelters, that'll house about 4-7 people with chairs under it in rain.

where exactly is the site gonna be this year?

Welp, if it's the same place as last year, you go beyond the big open tent area, past the Superfund hazardous waste site and back into the woods. Don't drink the creek water that runs through there ever cuz..well, just trust me on this.

Maybe Fridge or someone else can give you better directions.

Trying to decide...do we need my 3000watt generator for anything such as air conditioning a big tent? lol Or we could hook up a pump and build our own shower house from the creek.
Dub

we don't need no stinking generator making noise and air pollution
hyway

We'll just stick it in that noisy camp next to us and run the wire over...just think, camp lit by christmas lights!
