Yeah, yeah, I know. :-)
I've said that the past two years, but *this* year, I mean it,
darnit! :-) We won't be stocking up on cake and ice cream this
year, to give us more of an excuse to do the trip. :-) The past
two years, we all had cake and ice cream, and there wasn't a whole
lot of sense going out to the ice cream place after that... Live
and learn. :-)

Well, I hot rod everything else, why not the mud? ;-)
Good advice; just a qualification on the shorts; you might want to
re-think that one as there definitely is poison ivy in them there hills.
(Not everywhere of course, but you only need to step into one patch.) :-)
Speaking of the mud, there is a shower available (and its even hot when I
remember to buy propane) ;-) (Which I did.) :-)
Right now, its a race against time for me to build a winch mount
bumper for the Ram, design and mount the triple battery system, and
a million other things like clearing trails, prepping the mud pit,
rebuilding my hi-lift jack, etc. (The shear pins took offence when I
tried to winch a tractor out of a ditch with it; didn't actually break
them, just bent them enough to make things difficult.)
Come one, come all! :-)
