It's looking grim for me. The boss says it's not likely I can have off Friday and I'm not really interested in driving all night. Still not certain, but unlikely. |

I will be packing up everything tomorrow (wed) and heading out first thing in the morning Thursday. It is a 6 hour drive at normal speed but with the trailer and junk I figure I will prob only do 60mph. I am hoping to get there by 5 and get set up. I will unload the trailer friday early in case anyone breaks down and can't make it, I can go fetch them. So far we have been lucky and everyone makes it in with only minor problems. It would be nice if we keep that tradition going this year ![]() My van is running great so it should be an uneventful drive. I just did a trip to East Bend NC today to get a cement mixer, 600 miles round trip. I will try and set up a tracking system on my website so if it works everyone can follow my progress in realtime as I make my way there. The app opengeotracker for android is what I plan on using. Does anyone know if they have internet access at the campground? Or at least cell phone coverage? |

I don't think there is WiFi but there is cell reception. I have a laptop tethered to a phone for an internet connection if we need it. |

939 miles or 19+ hours. Doubt I can make it, even though I have the weekend off. I was looking at the pics of Geopalooza2009 and it looked liked a fun event. Just too far. But, I hope 90metro will take a butt load of pictures again. One suggestion, When you take pics of people standing next to their cars, put the names or monikers with the picture, that way we can put a face with the screen name. Good luck all, and drive safely. terry |

I'm only vaguely cool, and a long way from being a kid.

Woodie, looks like I'll make it. Since we're 'neighbors' email me if there's something I can fetch for you. Bummer about work but one's gotta make a living. |

thats totally me, but im making it a lazy 2 day trip just to get more time off work. Ive been busy the last few days gettin the car ready, rotated tires, oil change, new rad, new alt belt, fixed the muffler, put a better shifter in, and for some reason i decided to undercoat while it was up in the air |

I got a room as the green acres for friday night. Someone here said they would share it with me. Is this still a go? it would be $29 each ($58 total with taxes I think) I got a room with two beds. |

![]() Trailer is loaded up. Got to load the van then hook the whole mess together and I am ready to go. I also got the tracking thing working so when I leave in the morning I will turn it on and it will start updating as I drive hopefully. http://rthompson.us/tracker/showPos.php?id=55095e2d is the tracker. I will post photos as I go this weekend. Any photos or posts I make to any of my websites should be visible on my Google Buzz feed at http://www.google.com/profiles/thompson9000 My phone is set to upload pictures as I take them to Picasa and they will show up on my Buzz feed from there. It will be a bit messy but for a realtime setup it seems like it should be pretty good. Gotta love the Nexus One phone, It can do anything
