Stan, for $5.00 for the ticket and a drive up north I plan on it. Never been there and like to go just to see the equipment to gather ideas. I am not one to purchase as I like to build. Who knows maybe win a door prize. Plus gives me an opportunity to blow the carbon out of the Tundra and enjoy a day or two away from the boredom of hanging out at home with the recovery.

I may pick up a copy of Clay (Barry) Diggins maps.

The FootPrints maps/programs are super cool. I want to get the Greaterville edition so I can get a bit familiar with the area before I come down there and check it out.

We still need to be able to find each other. :dontknow:

I'll be easy to spot - I'm the handsome one with the crowd of hot chicks following me around. :thumbsup:

AZViper is the one with the gimp wing. :cat:

I know what SL Nugget looks like. :blackbeard:

Maybe the rest of you could carry a flag? :flag_red:

I have made great progress in my rehab. Still not much strength in the shoulder but I am not to be lifting anything until P/T begins on strengthening the muscles in the shoulder. So it may be difficult to locate me if I am not in a sling, but if I am in a sling you will know who I am...

I will be attending on Saturday after stopping by JustBent Shop in northern Phoenix.

Is that right next to the Roadrunner office? Sounds familiar.

My digging pard and I are planning to be there Sat. Thanks for the headsup Mr. Diggins :-) Looking forward to putting some faces with names. Is someone organizing a meeting spot and time? I realize organizing this bunch is like herding cats but..........?

I hope to be over at the expo around the time the doors open. From the Deer Valley area I suppose I will take the 101 east to Broadway Rd. exit and head east to North Center St. then head north. Not from the area but this looks like the best route to take. GPS will tell me differently by having me take the 202 over to North Country Club Dr.
