Looks like some dry camping weather with nice temperatures. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Brevard+NC+28712 Headed out in the morning.
Already loading the vehicle. Everything but the food.
I will need to make a grocery run before I start. (Anything specific I need to bring Crash?)
Already have the GPS set.
Gas is down below $3 a gallon up here so this will be my cheapest jamboree trip ever.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
one of these days we need a jamboree up nort LOL.
so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?
Hey, we can do that too!
run
I am halfway between N&S and willing to do two jamborees.
It's a rough prospect but I would make the sacrifice.
If we did something in Michigan all the folks from the Ohio River north would have a 5-6 hour run.
Anywhere that does not require me to go through Illinois. I don't do Illinois.

Y'all have a good time.....really missing coming on down.

Hope everyone has a blast! Wish I was there.
Yeah I know was really looking forward to it.......
Kinda frustrating to not be able to do the thing I/we used to easily.......But after a assessment on current Dr's pains and meds....It got to be apparent that it wasn't gonna happen.
One or the events that was possibly going to be a problem was a couple of people.....a relative/friend that passed.
As it turned out, they passed last week... a day apart ,.... so services were Fri and Saturday, 200 miles apart.
After driving for two days ....it was tough to stay on the road that long.......
DW say's ...Next year!
Y'all have fun......

We leave tomorrow to see son #1 in NC. I was hoping to make a stop at black mountain and share in the festivities . Work and all, we'll be missing out by a day or two. Y'all be safe.
Will be heading out here shortly for the day. Will have all 3 kids, so no overnight this year. Lots of plan changes recently, but glad we will get to hang out today. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Hope everyone else can make it next year.

Hope the weather is kind for you all. Have a great time and don't forget......Pics or it didn't happen!
Recession; A period when you go without something your Grandparents never heard of.
Looks like a great week-end weather wise. Everyone stay safe and have fun.
Just walked through the door getting home.
What a weekend! Too bad more folks could not show up.
Great weather, good temperature, good campsite.
We did have a couple of bumps to deal with but everything came out OK.
815 mile round trip to a place so far back in the woods it did not even have GPS coordinates!
Listening to that North Carolina accent made me homesick.
Crash and Mrs Crash are probably about 1/2 way home by now. He has photos.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Welcome back.
