Well after about an hour of repositioning, I got my AV situated on my trailer. I hope it is positioned properly, and I know it is tied down properly. Tow vehicle is sagging a little but I was expecting that. Taking off tomorrow morn, will let you guys know as it goes.

Safe Travels!
 
Sorry, I have been out of touch! A weekend trip to PA ended up us and friends we were traveling with broken down on the side of the interstate for most of the afternoon...  :E:

James, have a safe trip! It will be GREAT to see you again!

We won't be down until Thursday afternoon, since I have to work all week, but we will see everyone then!

It is going to be a GREAT weekend!  (y) :love: :B:
 
All of you folks have a safe trip, don't forget to post pics so the newbies know what it's like to attend the nationals.

Dude, I'm with you, my Av still looks like it was in the zombie apocalypse and it's never been offroad. Been meaning to clean it up for over a month and have yet to touch it. I wanted to re-spray it and I didn't have the $$ to order the material till last week, so that's obviously not happening in the next 3 days. I spent more on the Subaru than anticipated so the Av has been suffering, not to mention I found another dash crack yesterday too. I'm guessing it's age, but it vibrating up and down 3/4" of an inch or so when the subs pound probably doesn't help the cause. I didn't notice it when I drove it 2 weeks ago and now it's like 10" long.
Drive safe, see you Thursday.
 
Jeff updated the schedule of events thread with Saturday Dinner plans.

Dinner will be at the Hickory Tavern across the street from the hotel, at 5:30.

They host large parties often, and can accomodate 100 or more.

No set price on dinner, and a full menu available. No need to pay ahead like last year either.

Prices are fair, and the quality is good!

 
How's the Pok?mon in the area? Lots of pokestops? Any gyms?
 
Whewwww!  I'm bushed, been cleaning the AV and gettin stuff already to leave in the morning, I need a good nights sleep, lol.
