Here it is so far. Not looking to promising. When I seen the ten day, even though it's only till Tuesday the 10th, only one word comes to mind. CRAP. Put you mud tires on boys.

We may not be leaving on Wed. if the weather stays like it's been lately. It could be Thurs. or Fri. morning when we leave. They have been getting some nasty weather around there lately. Hope for the best!

I just checked the 10 day forcast for trikefest and it looks worse than the last time I looked. These forcasts rarely hold up though so we'll just have to wait and see.

I remember It real well.It woke me up about and hour before it hit.i could smell it in the air:wondering
It was about 5 am and I heard the thunder cracking in the distance.I had about 4 hours sleep after a case of beer:beer :cry: .

I woke up in the tent,started scuffling around and Tammy was like"WTF are you doing?"
"there is a efffn storm coming"I say.She is like "No go to sleep"
I am like "Get the eff outtta bed woman and help":lol:

I am hungover like hell,I jet out the tent,start battening down things,tarp the tent,etc,wake up my hungover brother" Awww man WTF are you doing?"get your ass up I say"

Dark as hell.Then I finally get crap secured for the onslaught,Just about then,I must have woken up,75% of the OTC camp,Sandpuppi was out securing his stuff,then About 50 mph gust came rocking thru,Pulled up the tent canopies,One landed on someones truck,and Me and Roger and Tammy were out there at about 6 am holding down tents to keep them from landing on trucks.

Ahh Man It would have been awful,but add in the massive hangover, and it down right sucked.:lol:
Yeah,I hope you guys dont have to go thru that again.shens

Hope you guys have a good time! Looks like I might be missing a TF for the first time.:( My friend is going way to early for me, I had planned on leaving friday and coming back sunday, but we have a family trip a week later and the gas prices are killing me. Just no way I can swing any cash to go right now. I can't believe i'm going to miss it, but no way am I missing next year.

Rain only 20-30% now. Looks like it'll be hot though. Ok maybe just a quick ,settle the dust, shower in the early afternoon would be ok.
