I think we need to have a ride around 1:00pm on Friday since Mason will be there at 12:00pm and if Barry goes we will be there by then too I think.

Mason If Barry can't go I want to meet you at Princeton Wal Mart and ride with you so we can split the fuel cost what do you think about that?

LittleRedRzr, What time can you ride on Friday?

I have to work but I am shooting to be there around noon and set up then ride. But I don't know until I'm done. The guy who knows all the trails also has to work but he's the boss so he can pretty much set his time. What time frame are you lookin at? I can find out tomm. What time he has in mind, but we can also ride on out own till he is ready I have my gps we should be able to find our way around a little. Lol

If you guys get h&m passes you can ride those trails and as soon as I can get there I can call or radio someone and meet you. Do the little Hand held radios communicate with the ones you guys use. I just ordered a set but won't have them in time hopefully I can find one to use if it will work with yours

The woman at the campground said you (geterdun) really like to cook and I love it myself so do you have something planned that we may be able to pitch in and make or do I need to bring a smoker or grill or anything? I don't really know anyones plans. I'm not sure they do. lol
