Hello guys, I am camping the night before...thanks to GS to have camouflaged the starting time at 7:00 a.m. as ready to go instead of meeting time. Who else is camping please record your telephone number in the reply and I am going to make a group for us to plan a wonderful evening.

i am not in a physical state to lead a full day drive through one of the most exciting terrain… and it would not do any justice to this drive. 

Please note that we will be rescheduling this drive for another weekend to be announced later.
