Hi Gregnleane,


I'll be going through Rocky between 6 and 7 in the morning.

I'll have my radio on channel 10 and I'll give you a call as I'm going through.

Hi guys.

Great to hear almost all of you have hit the road north (sad news for the poor fella with the Mrs with the broken ankle). I've been watching the Trip board (http://myswag.org/forum/index.php?board=44.0) with interest as all the organising has come together, and it's going to be great to hear how it all goes.

Is there a plan to start a new General topic called say 'Trip Updates', so that whenever the group gets phone service you can all post updates as you travel along? This might be easier than separate/individual threads doing the same. Of course, this is dependant on mobile service, which is no doubt somewhere between zilch and nil. Anyway, just a suggestion.

Please travel safe, take lots of photos, and have a great time. I'll get up there one year!
