There were a few maybe's out there so if your going please add your name to the list.

Hey a snow storm is headed our way so maybe a repeat of last year's odyssey. John (GhostX) are you going to squeeze in one more Cali run before Gone ? Hope so!  Anyway please bring warm clothes and if someone brings a chainsaw that may help too (had to cross a fallen tree last year). Should be fun time in the snow!

regards, Oz

It would be good to see you again Kyle. Where's Scott?

Good, I will be bringing a big bundle myself. Hey Paul. did you scope out any good camp spots on your recon trip?

[MaxPower]

I was hoping to be able to attend this run but just found out I have to work on Saturday.  Hope to make another run soon.  Thanks, Max

I just called the post office and found out that my LCAs were sent on 5/9 by Parcel Post and not by Priority Mail. Apparently the 5/16 estimated delivery date is only an "estimate" when shipped that way, but could take up to 14 days to arrive.  I was told I should get it by 5/25.  Unfortunately, I already got my vacation request approved for Friday to get the LCAs installed that can't be changed.  

I wish I had suggested shipping by FedEx or UPS since it would get here much quicker.  If it was shipped UPS today (5/18) it would arrive by Friday (5/20) at a cost of $23.48 (rather than the $24.61 I was charged).   That is based on an estimated weight of 30 lbs., so it could have been either more or less.

I got a new gopro HD with a roll bar mount, LCD display, extra batteries and SDHC cards for this run.   But I guess this trip isn't in the cards for me.  So I am officially out unless the package arrives tomorrow.

Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

Thanks Don.  I have been looking forward to this run and have been working hard to get my truck in order over the last couple months.  My truck is in tip top condition now except for the LCA and I am already packed up for the most part.  So I really hope it will arrive tomorrow.

[Oz]

Me too!

[hardrock]

I really want to do this run, but it doesn't look like my skids and sliders will be in.
I'm thinking of going anyway.

Paul-  You mentioned that they would be nice for this trip, but do you think I'd be ok?

I have approx. 2.5 inch lift, and stock OR skids.

[Goldfish]

Hopefully Paul will chime in on this as he just finished running this trail. From watching his video, I would say you should be fine with just the stock skid plates. Heck, if Brian would of wrote the opening post it would of said "stock friendly".
