    We need you to confirm wether or not you are still coming and to PM either me, @stronghammer , or @TacoAlaMode your phone number to get info from us about the trip. We got most everything planned out tonight with very little left to confirm.

    NOTICE: PLEASE DO NOT WAIT LAST MINUTE TO CONFIRM IF YOU ARE GOING. IF YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR A DECISION AT LEAST LET ONE OF US KNOW THAT.... (SPEAKING FOR ME ONLY)... IT WILL NOT SIT WELL WITH ME IF YOU ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING AND THEN JUMP IN A FEW DAYS BEFORE LEAVING WANTING TO GO.

    Ok I don't want to do an overload of information so I want to start with one topic and one topic only. The first topic will be Leaving/Returning Dates.

    The tentative date was leaving May 5th. @justinalldredge19 and I are discussing leaving out the evening of May 4th after work. Probably put in a good 6 hours that evening and head to Little Rock (ish) and stay the night. That would make the next 2 days of travel much nicer and more manageable in our opinion.

    @Arrowshot is considering even leaving out the 3rd because he has some family out that way they may stop and see.

    You are more than welcome to meet/head out whenever you feel like obviously, but WE NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE if you are planning to go with a specific party.

    We discussed last night and we plan to do a trail called White Rim beginning on Friday the 12th, camp that night, and drive out of the trail onto the highway and begin the trek home the 13th-14th. Yes that could make Monday work suck major ass but it gives us a whole 'nother day/night in Moab. This leaving the trail and heading home will be in full convoy but we more than likely will not all stay together for the entire 2 day trip home depending on stops and whatnot.

    I'll probably end up heading home a day earlier. I really need a day of getting my shit in order before work.

    John kept getting us off topic lol. White Rim is an "easy" trail that is like 100 miles long so we plan to do 3/4 of it on Friday and then do the last 1/4 and hit the road home on Saturday.

    I'll likely be skipping that part. After a week of wheeling, I won't need another day lol
