    sub'd. This looks like a good trip shaping up! I'm hoping I can make this one but I'll have to remain a maybe for now as I don't know what my work load will be in two months. I really enjoy the expo style trips and I've been wanting to come up and meet some of the Northern NV/NorCal folks!

    My trip to ID is definitely looking like it's going to happen, so this run may not be doable for me. Still not concrete on dates yet so don't know about overlaps. I was just noticing there's a gaping hole in the thread poll for the weekend of Aug 4-5th. As the OP is in the Coast Guard and that's the annual drunken bash for the service's birthday, I can see why he may not have included it. But, since the OP is AWOL, does that weekend strike a chord with anyone? I know for a fact I can make that one. Just tossing it out there.

    I thought this thread/trip had sort of died a slow and unnatural death. All of my travel plans are on hold right now pending resolution af an injury to the pup. Once he's back up, then I'll be ready to roll again. I'm still down for a run if everything works out.

    A September trip down to Bishop would be pretty sweet as well!
