I think that if the Plant is totaly out of the question then we need to rerun the vote w/o the plant on there. That way those of us that voted for the plant can revote for our second choice so that it is all fair.

I'm with Eric's suggestion of re-voting since I think the plant is sounding more and more dim...

Alright boys, what options do you want in the poll?

I still need to give them one more shot to see if they'll come around but regardless if they do, we can always get those people that wanted to go to the plant to go so we can still continue.

I really hope everybody is considering Detroit, I think you all should add Detroit to the list to see what everybody else thinks, this would be a great place to go.

Mark,

I drove out on the OBX this past summer (Cape Hatteras area) when I was vacationing out there. The photo below was taken with a good buddy of mine from Charlotte. I'm the short guy on the left side of the photo...

It was an absolute BLAST driving out there and i can ONLY imagine how 'cool' it would be with 20 or so Ex's lined up instead of our 2!!!

Not sure I would be able to make it back out there as we are heading the other direction this year...Grand Canyon, Hoover dam, Vegas, Bryce, Zion, Arches, DENVER and then home...so ROCKIES this year tugging the TT!!!...BUT...I could always be persuaded to go 4 wheeling!!!

Matt,

we aired down to 15psi...plus there was two of us.

But I went back by my self after my bud left...I aired down to 15 again and figured if I got stuck...the dodges and girlie man bowties would be LINED UP to pull me out!...just as my little red bus would be there to do for them! ...but I've got 4 wheel drive...do you have a limited slip rear?...that 'may' help...but those two front wheels turning do a LOT of work...

If you notice my picture...our wheels are pretty far into that SOFT sand...so after realizing you've got a 2wd...I'd have to say...most likely YES...

BUT I'd pull you out and save you the girlie man bowtie smile!

joe.
