So what time Saturday is everyone planning on showing up? Going to take me 3 hours or so to head down. 11:00 good? I'll probably find a big bunch on the way down. My brother and I are thinking we might find a budget hotel to stay at unless were camping.

I figured we were hoteling it. I don't want to camp in this nastiness.

I was at harbor freight yesterday and found basically a rope bridge for $15 it's about 20" wide and 64" long. Should I get one or two?

Yeah I was just there the other day and saw them there. Little bit narrow but would probably work well.

I wasnt planning to put a perm bridge on the course so your call. I did finish the wobble bridge, havent tried it yet though. Just as a reminder, Im going to have a fire going (hopefully) and I have a microwave and a 1 burner stove so bring some dogs, or hotpockets or what ever for lunch. Ill pick up a couple packs of pop. Whats everyone drink???
