Location: Parrish, FL | Capt. and Phil,
I'm not 100% sure I can make it yet, but it looks pretty good. I'm willing to split the drive and expenses shoudl I end up going.
I'm ready to make hotel reservations as soon as Al make the announcements on availability. What type of schedule do you guys see? Leave Wednesday night and drive through, departing early Sunday morning for the return? What vehicles are avialable? (Guitar transport space?)
Sure doesn't sound like I'm on the fence yet does it? Sorry for the wavering but a project at work is going in finish lap countdown mode right about then so I have to figure out the logistics of taking a couple of days off.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Any contingency plan in the event a thousand people show up? I once planned a motorcycle trip, including dinner reservations, for a group of 30 and 125 showed up. The next year, we expected 125 and 325 showed up. We've capped it at 350 ever since. |

Maybe we can arrange for you to park right in front of the hotel lobby doors and leave the keys in it. That way, if our fingers get sore or we loose our voices there would be something for us to do.
Just a suggestion. |

Location: GA USA | Blues, sounds like all 3 of us are at the exact level of non-commitment right now. I don't really have a vehicle big enough, especially if we pick up a fourth. It's a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I suppose it would work for three. Let's keep trying to make it and see how it shakes out. |

Just a suggestion. Brad I think a vehicle is needed for the liquor run. I don't drink so I wouldn't know what all the requirements are. |

Location: Rego Park, NY, | The mountains along the route from Ski Sundown to the hotel caused alot of problems with my Garmin GPS. There were alot of dead spots and repeatedly "LOST SATELLITE RECEPTION". I felt realy bad about this when I realized that I had become the lead car for the OFC Hotel Caravan" :( :confused: |
