Count me in!!!
Coming from the "Can't fuel my own dang truck myself state", from
North Bend at the edge of the Blue Pacific, I'll be meeting up with you guys in Meridian Idaho on Sunday the 17th!!! Looking forward to traveling in the company and "relative" safety and comfort of the WashLO gang from my "neighboring" state of, er Socialist Republic of, Washington State!!! Sure gonna be an adventure, especially for me a "First timer", but I'm primed and ready, (at least
MENTALLY, or maybe I'm just
Mental 
for attempting this...), willing and able(?)
Just 2 weeks to go and like most of you, too much to accomplish in a short time. I'll be checking in regularly to watch for any late developments and I'd like to thank you all for extending your hospitality, with special thanks to my friends Scott and Jean, as well as Dale for his unexpected generosity, Steve "SD" Stock for offering his masterful tuning experience to help get the "Lightning Stick" more roadworthy, as well as his offer contingent to Jon's acceptance, (thanks Jon
), to let me "crash" at the event hotel room if necessary. You guys are helping make MY adventure possible and for that I cannot repay you. If it weren't for the opportunity to travel in your good company I seriously doubt I'd be crazy enough to attempt this trip alone...
C U Soon!!!
