If people need stuff they need to get with me because we can't bring everything so pre-ordering is the best way.

I think I might try to make it, we could meet up in Spokane and convoy over. If you have a CB in your rig I'll reinstall mine and try to get it working so we can chat along the way.
Are there affordable accomodations nearby? I'll have my girls with me if I end up coming over.
If I can make it, I think I need to replace the up pipe gaskets on my new pickup. Anybody going to be there that has experience pulling an OBS turbo? Clay will have to bring me an O-ring/gasket kit for the turbo... he may as well throw in the Riffraff turbo boot I'm going to win also

You're my HERO Eduardo! I like the way my fuel door doesn't slam with the installation of the new OEM rubber bumpers too! Thanks.

This is me trying to dump Ed in the water last year at Mark's. Can't wait to get there!

Chase I just did an obs turbo and uppipe gaskets weekend before last. Bought some new wrenches to help with the lower back bolts on the turbo. There are reasonable hotels in albany or you can camp out, whichever you prefer.

Chase,

i will let you know as soon as I can confirm, waiting on sister inlaw to decide if they are coming memorial weekend or 4th of july, and also weather my daughter has to make up soccer due to weather or not. if i come, i will have the daughter as well, and possibly the wife, she is undecided as of now.

i do not have a CB, but have some good two way hand helds I use in hunting season, they work well on the road up to 3/4 of a mile or so, and of course my 3 cell phones9dont ask, its a work thing, lol)

Will post as things kill or confirm through the week.

i can hit spokane in 5 hours even with one fuel stop/pit stop, spent many an hour making that run with my hounds back in the day, had friends in spokane that I stayed with then we hunted northern ID.
