He had sent me a pm to let me know that he would not be able to make it. Maybe he can get out of his other commitment and bring our number back to 5.

I'm staying in Gales Ferry at One-Eye's house Friday night so I can meet everyone in the Wal-Mart parking lot at 0700 and I'll just leave the Jeep there and hop in with you Will...

I talked with Paul last night and got directions to the meeting place. We'll be taking 95 south out of Groton all the way down to 34 west via Exit 47. Since Will is already on the south side of the river I propose that we meet along 95, south of Groton. Paul has already told the others that are meeting us to meet at 8:30am so we should meet at 7am and be on the road by 7:15am. I propose we meet at the Walmart parking lot off of Cross Street in Waterford at 7am. What say you?

That works for me.  Closer then going all the way to Groton, plus they have a Dunkin Donuts on the way.

That's great news. I'm glad you're going to make it. Since you're not going out of town do you want to meet at Kirk's house Friday evening to get the spare tires switched around?

I got an email from a couple of friends that just got back form Laconia, and they said it wasn't very good this year.  With the economy a lot of the smaller vendors didn't want to travel all the way to NH.  Plus they are calling for showers all weekend. 

From what I remember, the next close-est rally is in Ocean City NJ and in the past it has been in early September.  If I am around I may try to make it to that one.  Plus we need to get a JT4x4 motorcycle ride in some weekend.

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

No water and no deep mud.  I'm hearing nice in the morning, then t-storms in the afternoon.  See y'all there.

Yep, I'm hearing rain by late morning turning to thunderstorms by afternoon.

Hey guys, I was the one with the yellow CJ from Hudson Valley, I just wanted to thank you for the chance to get out.  I wish I could have stayed longer, but it was fun.  It was nice meeting you guys.   Thanks again.

Hi Sean, it was great meeting you Saturday. I wish someone would have got a video of that climb you were attempting and going up that tree. We all had a great time out there.
