As of right now I would like to go. The good news is, November 14, 2015 is my last day at work.

The bad is, ( not really bad) the Daughters baby is due about this same time. Papa Billy should probably be there.

So you decided to start delivering babies to keep you busy in retirement?

I do have experiance with baby delivery. I have a feeling it's going to be a C section, no experiance there. Plus I'll need to supplement my fixed retirement income.

On top of that, this Daughters birthday is the 26th, the baby is due the 18th, and the Grandaugthers B-day is the 29th.

Are there any meal requests? I have already had a question about bringing the pizza oven and am fine with that.

Ok, the plan right now is to head for the park at noon on Friday and by 8 am on saturday. We will be cooking burgers at the trailers on Friday befor heading into the park. Then pulled pork and baked potato soup on friday night. B&G bacon and eggs on saturday morning, burgers in the park for lunch and then pizza for supper. Breakfast on Sunday is undecided, can do something simple if there is interest.

Well gang, Darrell just got back from Iowa (helping is daughter make the move to Carroll IA), and with the farm and weather he's not going to be able to make the trip.

At this point I'm on the fence, as the M's not up to a Flat Nasty with out the rear locker, and the Jeep needs a little more ground clearance and skid plate before it should try concurring the rocks again.
Thanks,
Will

Seems like most everyone wants to still go so the trip is still on. Better go buy a rain suit.

First, Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, last night at 9:30 I was unloading the trailer and on the road off on a Durango retrieval run. After the kids left the house for Thanksgiving Dinner about 5-10 miles from the house the Durango blew coolant out the radiator cap, and then the temp gauge went high.

So it looks like some time this weekend I'm starting a cooling system diagnoses and repair, and hopefully a quick trip to see Mom and Darrell in MO.

You guys have a great trip and try and stay dry, and don't float away with any flash floods.
Thanks,
Will
