Does anyone else that is going to SITM geocache? It looks like there are quite a few caches around Banner Elk and up Beech Mtn as well. I think I have a travel bug I will drop off down there as well.

For those of you who don't know geocaching...it's a high tech treasure hunt using GPS. We use billion dollar government satellites to find tupperware hidden in the bush.

So Close yet so far.

Well Unfortunately I am not ging to make SITM this year. I got my shark about 9 months ago, and have been working towards the goal of going to SITM this year. Got most of what I thought I needed to get done finished, but then transmission acted up. It might just be some adjustments, but i doubt it. I live in SC only about 2 hrs away. May try to drive the 911 up there and see you all.. I am so bummed.

Don't sweat it, SITM is about 928 people FIRST..even if they have to drive a 911 to the event... HA, HA.

Oh, and we have a "special" spot for 911 parking so no need to worry about that either.



FYI, bring some nose plugs..the garbage from all the dumpsters surrounding the "911 parking area" starts to stink pretty badly in the afternoon!








JUST KIDDING!

Outside vehicles are generally accepted... ask me how I know. I think this will be the fourth consecutive year I will be leaving the 928 at home. Come anyway, its a blast.

That's funny right there... I don't care who you are!!

Glad to see the old Dave back and in prime spirits! My best wishes for continued improvement

Ha, Ha, knew you would like that!!

The real truth about that pic was Lorelei scratching hear head saying ....

"WHAT'S A HEMI ??""

Since Hacker told me the he wasn't coming which means Lorelei isn't coming...I have decided to start a Top Secret Campaign to make her mad at me so she will come down here and spank me at SITM...

Hey, an ole fellar can dream, right??
