I'll be at the SO Ruck.

Anybody pick some bluegrass?

[A-Train]

I hope to be at PA if I can get the wekeend off..

[Tabasco]

I pick some bluegrass wook. Trying to make the SoRuck, but not holding my breath though. Mrs Tabasco gave me a 9 day pass in April to do Unicoi Gap to Wesser.

[Frosty]

Anybody heading to SoRuck from the Northeast? Always looking to share expenses by carpooling.

[Sly]

Frosty,

You may want to contact Rockdancer from the Boston area. He hopes to come down. Last year he flew and missed a plane and had a couple others delayed so he's thinking about driving this year. If you drive down with him you're likely to get a homemade fleece hat.

geez wookie, don't tempt me....

Sure, it's cool.

I think most will be staying Friday night through Sunday and some until Monday, but I know of a few that can only make it for Saturday.

If you decide to come up and plan on staying overnight call NOC at 1 800 232-7238 for a spot in basecamp.

[Krewzer]

...count me in, hope to bring the Rabbit with me.

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

The dinos may have to drive over one day to witness this.
