[Jason]

Is it okay if I invite other off-roaders who aren't members of HXC?

[Jason]

One more question...I mentioned this event to someone on another forum (military forum) and was told that Aetna has some sort of lease on it and asked if we had access to that. He said he thinks the public access to Aetna has either closed or will be closing soon. Do you know anything about that?

[Dadstoy]

Jason last I knew it was still open to the public. There was a local club there this weakend. But I'll check with them and see what they ran in to.

[Jason]

No sweat...just had heard about it from someone else.

[Dadstoy]

Well it looks like I'm out of the trip now, I'm having surgery on the 26th tried to postpone it but the doctor said not smart. This has not been much of a good year for me when it comes to wheeling. hopefully things will get better soon I'm loosing my mind.

[mataylor1]

Sorry to hear that man, hope everything goes well for you. So the two people who organized this trip are nop longer going on it. WEIRD!

[Mark]

Sorry to hear about the surgery, got to do what you got to do.

So who is still planning on attending? Pretty sure that Jason is out because he has to be down in Naples. I was trying to rearrange some things so I could still got but now I have to drop the truck at the dealership today so not sure I will even have it so am counting myself out. With gas prices they way they are and other issue coming up for people unless a number of people are still planning on making the drive I suggest we postpone this run until another time.

[mataylor1]

I know time is winding down for the trip, and i just wanted to wish every body who can still make it a great time, i didnt post here in but i had to get rid of my HUMMER, gas was getting way to ridiculous on my military salary and trying to get married in a year or so did not help either, so unfortunately be not be joining on the trip, kind of weird the two that organized are not making it. well have fun everybody, please post pics if you all still go and give details on how it went.

[Seth]

So what happened to this event??? It seems like things just fell apart. Did anybody go?

[Dadstoy]

Seth, The event went to crap in a handbag because of gas prices. I had to have surgery, and Mataylor had to sale his H3. People just dropped like flies.

That's too bad. This event had real momentum at first. I hope you guys get to do something like this in the future.

We will do it again at some point. There were just too many things working against it this year beyond the fact of how far a drive it is for most.
