A bunch of us "right-coast" guys are headed out to the Moab meet at the end of May.

Since Torspd said he'd let me take his truck for a spin I've decided to swing through Houston on the way out.

As of now I'll also have PSU Taco85 and sander1036 along with me in this cross country caravan.

Any thought on a meet & greet?
