this is actually good camping weather as long as you bring enough blankets to stay warm.

I'm trying to strategize packing here. We have 5 people and 2 cars one of which wouldn't hold my stuff by itself (sorry Kyle, no offense) I'm trying to get everything into one big bag and not bringing any food so I can put stuff into an empty cooler. I have to get clothes, a tent, pillow, sleeping bag and a bunch of randoms into said packaging. And try and get it into the bed of your truck! it doesn't have any sorta bed cover by chance does it?

I would recommend lip balm, carmex, chapstick etc. It can be really dry there.

and lotion...gals, bring really good lotion! (and keep it away from 81!)

None taken; I have a tiny, tiny car.

But based on what you're saying, maybe it's best if we still take just two cars? It seems like we'll need the room.

OK, then we're taking two vehicles, still. I'm making the executive decision.

Are all the logistics still in play? 81 was picking you up, correct? That makes sense if all your stuff won't fit in my vehicle, and I have Becky to pick up, too.

Oh, and 81, I haven't heard from Becky yet ...

I don't have her number, no. Does she check her PMs much? I can just PM her.

That all sounds good. OK, Truck, in your hands now ... where do we meet?
