I think we have our team pretty much solidified. It will be Tracie & I in my Taco, Brian & Jayne Currier in their H3, Mike & Teddi in their super-sweet FJ-40, John Trotter in his JGC and Joe Chemlar and the boys in the Jeep.

We are going over a name right now and have several candidates.

Those were the first ones eliminated. As a matter of fact, I don't think I allowed time for them to be suggested at this homestead. we have some good candidates I think.

Ticketmagnet, sigsdad, and opie - how about any/all of us team up?

This is OK with me. I will either have my wife OR a couple of kids with me. Won't know until we get closer. I'm still trying to decide between running the lowered GTP (to make good time?) or the 32' motorhome (for camp comfort). I suppose the K5 will probably be chosen again.

Im game for just about anything. Ive already registered as a solo team, but can modify to suit.



You could add Ticketmagnet and I (SigsDad??) or we could register seperate - doesn't matter to me.

I look forward to meeting you guys, sure hope we have a good time! :fireblob:

Shouldn't be an issue to add to the team. Would need to come up with a better name than "Rollin Solo" since it would be inaccurate!!

Also.... Just so theres no bunched panties.... I will have at least 1 child with me, more than likely 2. I like to get into camp with enough light left to not feel hurried, get camp set-up, eat, and get clean.(the latter isnt always possible, but I try to make time for it. I do have a modified stainless bug sprayer I set on my stove for a warm shower.) My intentions will be to have a good time and introduce our Daughter to camping.

EDIT: PM me the names of your vehicle occupants and your vehicle so I can modify the registration.

Sounds good to me. Sig likes kids so that'll be just fine with us.

I'm reminded of the movie "Airheads" where the band was called "The Lone Rangers".
