I'm in!!!...





...of course depending on work, large uncontrolled fires, or other acts of God...

The dates don't really matter to me since I truly won't know if I can make it until I'm already there...

Well June (and July) are a no-go for me. I'm flying to Europe May 31 and won't be back till July 12th. I know, it's a darn shame . So, you'll have to remove me from the 'for sure' list. That's also why i'm not going to Moab.
I get out of school May 23rd (i think), so i'd be able to do either a run between then and June, or on my spring break, which is March 29-April 4. I might just head up there for a couple days on my spring break, regardless of whether it's the official EF pismo trip or not.

don't know what dates are good for me, but so many runs is going to start getting expensive. Glamis, AZ, Pismo, Moab. don't think i'll ever have money or time to work on the truck

Subscribing. A little to far out for me to say for sure. Ill know as it gets closer. The explorer might be getting worked on around that time so...

Well it appears the AZ run as orginally planned has gone down in flames.

I already drew out the plans, and it's going to be hard not to share them. I don't want to show them yet though.
