Also.. beware, we've been rained on the past 3 rally's.

BE PREPARED!

(Also, could the mods unsticky the summer rally thread and sticky this thread?.. mmm yeah.. that would be great.)

[tn325i]

I'll be there... It's getting to the point if we have a dry rally it would feel strange....

Looking forward to this once again... And, we can do a group vote but I for one don't mind if we only have one day of driving the mtns... It was nice to just hang out at the campground this past weekend..

Oh yeah, I think Stevie30 may have graduated to large zucchinis.. He has left the bananas behind.!...(pun intended Steve)

[Stevie30]

I'll be there if you let me bring up the rear.

Where is everyone?

[Aptyp]

I am definitely making it, I love fall colors, and I'll probably have my dogs with me. Expect me Friday after I get out of class.

[Stevie30]

Also.. beware, we've been rained on the past 3 rally's.

We need to have a rally and set up camp in some of the drought striken areas. We could guarantee them at least two days and nights of rain. Any takers?

[Aptyp]

woman is coming with me, and dogs. SO i'll be driving less and going on a trail a little more... I am bringing my e30 trailer camper with me.

Now we will all have to behave................:)

[dinanm3atl]

I am in for sure. Will put in my time off now :)

I will spend a day sleeping, napping, playing cards? Relaxing!

[BigBumperNick]

You are doing it wrong.


You are in 100% and will skip anything that comes up.
