Good morning, folks. I just tried to rouse Mike Miller from his Westy parked
outside by house. Seems the old fella is totally passed out in there. Anyway,
go the link below if you forgot the event details.

Thanks to Jim Robinson for the webpage.

Early bird Larry Chase was at the site last. Went to check on him but he was
nowhere to be found. I did spot a nice white Syncro Westy at the nearby
motel. Larry, thanks again for the donation for park fees and cleanup
supplies.

For those of you planning of seeing Overland's stuff, get there early as Ben
Zlotkin said they will be leaving at about 2:30pm.

Last minute cancellation from Tassi, Inc. Bruce Tassi almost forgot it was
his son's b'day. Or so he claims -- for those who really know Bruce.

The usual suspects should be present as I haven't heard anything to the
contrary. Bob & Diana Wing from Detroit sends their regards. They couldn't
WING their way over like last year and it's to late for them to drive in. No
doubt still irked at Karl Wolz for snatching the long distance award from
them. Karl drove they flew. Speaking of Karl's, he's showing up late. Karl
Mullendore was in Seattle last I heard on the way here.

Anyway, gotta pack up and prepare stuff to bring. If anyone has a table they
can bring, that would be appreciated. I'm getting too lazy to bring my huge
picnic tables. I can't lift them off my 16" Syncro by myself. Maybe I'll get
Miller to help. I may not be bringing the Syncro. I have three vehicles to
bring and only one driver. It will be a challenging day indeed.

my apologies to the folks to the VOR remind list who will be getting 2-3
