Still thinking about it, but leaning towards it. I'm heading out the door to the climbing shop to look for a RedRiverGorge guidebook.. back in an hour or two -- will definitely go if I can get the book tonight.

Cheers

Okay, I'm in!

My flight arrives in Cincinnati at about 18:12 (6:12pm). I'll retrieve my luggage, pick up the rental car, and drive on up to the cabins.

Can you leave a note as to where you'll all be if you head out for dinner before I get there?

And how exactly DO I find y'all, anyway?

The sinus cold is still here, in full swing, but such is life. I'm bringing The camera, sleeping bag, tiny tent, and basic climbing gear, if it all fits.

No soldering iron, though -- no point unless we have some resistor packs available.

Cheers

Just go to the lodge and they will tell you the cabin #'s that we have. I'll be baking pizza's and brownies for us all. You'll arrive about the time that Rob and Drakino will be getting there also. Find the cabin with all of the loud music and there we'll be. If you have a cell phone you can PM me the # and I'll give you mine.

I'm very glad you're coming

Okay, cool. Presumably there's some cabin floorspace for me (or even a bed?), somewhere so my unrestful "sleeping" won't keep everyone up too late.

If the weather is nice Sunday / Monday, I suggest those who are curious may want to head down to Red River Gorge for a tiny amount of climbing, and a Sunday evening tent-out. Mapquest.com lists it as a 2.5hour drive from Cincinnati.

My return flight leaves Cincinnati at around 8pm Monday, so there's time to do a certain amount of hiking/climbing on that day prior to the drive back.

I wonder if there's someplace we can drop a car so as to car-puddle down into Kentucky?

Cheers

My drive way would work. It fits one whole car in it.

I cant wait and I'm glad to see that you're making the trip Mark - and everyone else too. Try some Echinacea tea, sometimes that helps...

I wish I could leave tomorrow!! And I wish I could stick around Monday for some climbing and/or hiking!!! Stupid job. I'll be leaving my homestead around 2am and expecting to arrive at Hueston hopefully by 11. I never stop except for gas up.

I'll see if I can pull a few strings - oh I might just leave after work tomorrow around 4 pm but then I wouldn't arrive until 1am or so. Hmmm... thinking...

And if we turn them on their sides and put them wheel to wheel?

Then the local police stop by to say it's illegal. The jerks made me move my Nova one morning at 4am because it was parked sideways behind my van but off of the street totally. They even waited while I moved it.

Looking like it's going to cost about $8.00 a person for dinner and $5.00 and less per meal for the other meals. I'll know more after I get the rest of the food tomorrow and when we have an exact head count for each meal but that gives you a rough idea on the costs. I'll have all the receipts with me for examination if people have questions. But so far it has cost $331.03 with roughly $100 more tomorrow.

It took 2 grocery carts to get it to my van

Sounds very affordable, and I personally won't need to look at any receipts.

Cellular phone coverage at Hueston Woods is marginal at best. If anyone gets lost or needs directions enroute you can call me at [censored - Drakino 9/23/02].

My flight arrives in Cincinnati at about 18:12

Mine is supposed to be in at 17:52, so we should be there about the same time. I am meeting up with Rob at the Delta baggage claim. If you want to meet up so we can all drive to the meet togther, let me know. I'll drop my contact details off in a private message.

That would save you a car rental Mark, I could probably get you to the airport Monday evening for your return flight.

Wow. Noise. If only I could get my employers to send me to this I'd make a killing on per diem.

I'm sure they would still find a reason to ticket you here. One of them small towns you know, can't spit on the sidewalk and that type of place. But at least I don't have to worry about my vehicles or house getting broken in to. The neighbors on one side are both cops

There is a very good chance for rain and storms tonight and early Saturday morning but after that the weather should be good. Shouldn't interfer with the competitions and the boat rides or cook out.

When are the competitions/drawings? Saturday afternoon I assume?

I cant wait, this meet should be pretty cool. I'm already drooling for some hamburgers.

Oh, and I just got my digital out board from Eutronix (actually it got here Wed. and has been sitting in our mailroom). This thing looks sweet, I can't wait to install it but that will have to wait until after the weekend.

They'll be after lunch on Saturday. I'm heading out the door, I have to go buy a cooler because everything doesn't fit into one. Crap!

Safe trip everyone.

It was a great time, one of the best times I have ever had. Thank you to those who came and your support in helping get it together and helping pay for it. It ended up being more costly than want I had tried to have it be and next year I will do it differently so that doesn't happen again. But I think everyone had a great time.

Thanks again Laura for the great time. It was well worth the extra money. I am working on uploading my photos. I took over 100, and uploading that many at a time seems to be breaking riocar.org.

Now, about Mark and Laura.... Well, I guess you just had to be there.
