I will be heading out friday, you know what to look for. If we are going to wash 2 it is fairly narrow and cozy so it is really easy to find people there. I think since it is not marked really well alot of people overlook it... I usually miss it and end up back tracking from wash 3.

This one is very unsusal, here's a couple more pics of the same hole to give you an idea of the size.

So...everyone will be at wash 2? I can be out as early as the 26th, but I'm going to be wrenching on Dale #1 (#2 is fine) to see if I can have a spare on the "Ready" if anything should go wrong.

I've got a buddy of mine driving down from Phoenix on the 25th, so we'll probably plan to show up around mid day on the 27th.

For those not so familiar, drive down the gravel road that parrallels the RR tracks, you will see the wash marked on the wall where the water flows under the tracks, wash 1 is marled well and water way is made of cement, wash 2 is not marked so well and is made with sand bags, if you see 3 cross's you have passed it and wash 3 is also marked well and made of cement.
Turn into wash 2 and drive at a 90 degree angle to the tracks, if you don't have 4X4 you may want to air down your tires, I have a compressor and the one thing that is still free at the store is air, they have a huge bomb, I mean storage tank in the back.

On the list of stuff to bring:
Firewood, you can never have too much!
It won't be as cold as GreenBay but it is nice to sit around a good fire.

Alright six days to go can't wait. It's below zero with out the wind chill here on the WI/IL boarder with a boat load of snow (already 1.5 feet of snow with another snow storm coming) which wasn't a fun 2 hours to snow blow our driveway. Steve we should just leave now we still can JK. See you guys there

I'll have a 150psi porter cable air compressor too. Air won't be a problem. Looks like I probably won't have the Glamis. Just running out of time. I'll still be there though. Should be fun. Maybe I'll get lucky and get it done. We'll see.
