Just a heads up, if any of your GPS are telling you to stay on 70 toward wheeling and bypass 77, don't do it! There's a bridge out where 70 connects onto 7 north and it will Fugg you all up.

Those coming from the west, follow 70 until it merged into 77 north. You'll be on 77 for about 5 miles and then merge onto 22 east.

From the south, follow 77 until you hit 22 east at Cambridge.
Thx for the info Cotty thats what mine was showing.
Did someone say weiner?

Leaving work tomorrow at 1430, picking up groceries and swinging by to pick dad up, and I will be on my way. Looks like a 2.5hr drive, so I'm guessing we will be in camp by seven. Looking forward to this weekend!

Twas the night before the TOO gathering, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring. . . .Except Phil. . . .

And he is running around lke a high strung ADHD kid hopped up on caffeine and chocolate.

Got the bike ready to go. Got my gear. Found a couple 5gal water jugs to clean out in the morning and top off. Loaded up a few blinds, some random backpacks and stuff for the swap. Grabbed Flutey's stuff. Haven't thought about food yet, but I know what is going in the cooler in the morning. Foreman is changing oil in my truck first thing while I finish scavenging stuff together. Heading off to round up guns and ammo next. Tent, cot, sleeping bag are ready. Oh yeah, I do have the Caldwell Leadsled in a pile of stuff to bring as well for anyone who wants to use it.

Thanks to CJD, I will be making motorcycle sounds all the way there. Might just punch him in the gut rather than shake his hand. (I kid. I kid.) He is going to have me sore from riding by Monday for sure!

I truthfully don't think I am even bringing my bow (not sure I can fit it in the truck at this point). I want to RIDE! I want to shoot guns. I want to eat, drink, and meet some new faces. Those are my priorities.

Glad to hear the pavilion is powered up. I was a little worried about that. I'll have my geny there today so we can run other stuff if needed. Hold down the fort until I get there lol.

What's your ETA, Phil?
4hr drive. After my semi refreshing 5hrs of sleep, I am up and at it. Still have quite a bit to get done before I can leave. I would guess mid afternoon sometime.

Feel free to give me a shout if you are driving and bored Chad. Lol
