While I'm not one of the ride organizers, by looking at this thread, it appears that this will be a smaller ride.

The following are coming:
(GA) 08{GA}Rubicon
(GA) ckivy
(GA) Dstack701
(AL) sixty5vdub

Can we add anyone to this list?

I need every bit of help that I can, 08{GA}Rubicon helped me out tremendously with ll the logistics, Thanks Corey.

I believe that the following can be added to the list:

Maybe:

But yes, a small group in a big park, with no one else around

Default unlikely but...

It's highly unlikely, but if the stars align and the seas part, I'm going to keep my eye on this. Work's not the issue, it's the wife I'm worried about! .

I got the day off work and postponed some school junk so I'll be there.

Having trouble finding a cheapo air compressor for this trip. I don't want to invest in a nice compressor and only use it a few times. I plan on putting in a full OBA system very soon but I haven't decided how yet...haha

Anyone know where I can pick up a cheapo compressor before the ride?

The left side of my jeep is open, no sense in wasting any money on a throw away. I don't care, it doesn't cost me any more.

Save your money for the right set up you want. Chris and I, mine much slower, have air for tires.

I might be able to make this ride now. I am currently on a road trip and am out in new mexico I plan on driving all the way back to Birmingahm tomorrow now. So as long as I dont get in too late I will try to come. I was looking at the vehicle requrements on the morris mountain website and it says they require tow strap, tree saver, and fire extingusher, all of which I dont currently have. Will I have to have these for the ride or is it ok as long as someone in the group has them?
