Yes when they all get put on the list.   

[trAVelingman]

With Official Registration VERY close to opening up, we won't be updating this list any longer.  This was used as a planning tool by Hugz and myself and we will be starting an Officially Registered/Attending list in the very near future.

Is it July yet............

Goal is to be there the whole week.  Just need to wait on my work schedule for the year to be firmed up.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom?  Where have ya been?

Tom?  Where have ya been? 

Lots of changes in my life workwise.  Air Force contract got bought out and then project killed unexpectedly.  Have been going through a rough patch but things are starting to pick up again.  Now I am working with Marines and Air Force.  I think I will be working with the Army and Navy too. 

Wanted to go to Hugz last week, but just couldn't make it because of work schedule and doing taxes.  Very broke too.  Once things settle down again I should be back to some GTG's.  Looks like I am

I am still shooting for going to the Nationals...especially since that is just south of my Alma Mater...Go Vols!

Hope to see you guys soon,

Tom

Looks like i'm gonna have to back out this year just don't think i can afford the gas to drive that far. Thinking a motorcycle vacation this year is about all i will be able to swing.

I figured our gas price yesterday; it's about $350.  That's figured at $4 per gallon.

Worth it to me...we'll just skimp in other areas...

Gotta look at it this way.  Even if gas is at $4 a gallon by the time the Nationals roll around, thats ONLY another $30 per tank if you based your budget on $3 a gallon gas.  Round trip from Texas would be @ 4 tanks of fuel x $30 (increase only) is an additional $120.  Cutout pizza night for 4 weeks and voila, you've made up the difference.  I personally will pay the increased fuel costs to spend the time with my Avalanche family.

[ORANGE05]

Really want to be there but the EX put my finances in turmoil before she left and the vacation budget is down to gas money now days
really can't afford to leave Abilene this year. Sucks because it will be the first one i have missed too.

This offer good for everyone?

Your screenname fits you well, doesn't it.........

Tell ya what, if I should hit the Powerball between now and the Nationals, all increased fuel costs will be on me.......guaranteed.......

Heck, for that matter, all costs associated with the Nationals would be my treat...........gotta think big here, don't we?

[Willyorca]

I'm quite willing to give up my Dunkin Donuts for a while to be able to see all my loved ones...
(other than the generous amount that my brother hooks me up with for all gift-able occasions!  DD cards RULE!)

I already cut out my lunches out-the eat out or pick up ones that is--I been eating lots o' egg sammiches...good thing I like 'em!

That's 1 plane ticket somewhere...and most people wouldn't think twice about spending that to fly somewhere! So, I say drive on...to Nationals!!!

Here is what it looked like just a few months ago 

With the announcement made that the 2008 Nationals will be held in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on July 19-26, 2008, many are able to firm up their plans for attending.  I will go ahead and start the Attending List now.  This list will help Hugz and I to know how to plan things as we go along.  Can we make to to 100 Avalanches with this one?  Let us know here.  Let us know if you will be attending the whole event, or what days you will be attending.

Sorry for the late change but we'll be there for the whole event Sat- sat 

That's a GOOD change.  Looking forward to meeting you and the new Old No. 7.

BTW, did you hear that the former Master Distiller at JD was FORCED to retire or face termination.......

Read about it here.

WOW I so totally did'nt know. Make you think sometime huh, I am going to pm you in a couple, I have some questions. K..

I loved the A







I loved the AVs I saw...but overall, I must admit that I was disappointed.  This is the first AV event I've been to, and I didn't have mine with me.  Nor did I get involved in every outing/event available.  Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I had participated more.  Still, a great bunch of people.  I'll be watching.
