I'll be there unless the forecast calls for a flood again, then I may cancel last minute.

Well, it was plain awesome-my first time at Harlan! Couldn't complete a lot of trails due to running on 3 of 4 cylinders, killed my battery by winching, alternator died, truck almost caught on fire from short going to welder. But it was still a heck of a time! OK, I'm in!
I'm sure the local Autozone appreciated me being there!
Oh yeah, that was some of the craziest thick fog that I've ever seen-we got seperated from our group only to discover that they were only 50 yards ahead of us!

No way i can make it now. Broke a t-case and some U-joints. No funds to fix it right now.
Any way I can still get a few t-shirts?

Been a very wet winter and spring. Last few days have been nice though.

I was up there last weekend. It was sloppy and nasty with the rain and snow. Im betting with these warm days this week, that it has dried up some of the mud.

Hope so, although the forecast for the end of this week and for next week looks pretty wet.

I'm on the fence at the moment depending on weather. Really not wanting to slop around in the wet again since its about 900 miles round trip for me.

03-30-2009, 12:51 PM
If the weather is good sat I plan on going up and finding a group to ride with. If the weather is bad I think I still plan on going up but just to support the park and see some friends.

Depending on how my dad is doing I may do the same.

I'm out. Due to the weather and a buddy needing to finish his Ftoy for the upcoming competitions. If anyone needs a place to stay, I just cancelled my reservation at Black mountain Cabins. I sure someone will snag the cabin right away.
I will be planning a trip up sometime this summer when all the guys I normally ride with can come and it's drier.
