@Burly - of course! I'm trying to limit the number of rigs for campsite and travel purposes. Pack as many people as you want in your rig!

@Devil Dog 77 - No worries. The coordinates for the Friday night campsite are posted. If you're only a couple hours late, we can try to meet at Camp Creek Falls too. I have a small ham radio, but no license. I'll be using GMRS 16. But it looks like @Luinil Explorations has ham. Can the two of you connect for a channel...

@a12houk, any chance you could make room for a 6th rig?
@RogueJeep I added 2 spots.
Looking forward to having you join us!
@a12houk thanks for expanding the list. RSVP is still stuck at max of 5 though. I\'ll continue to check in case it\'s a refresh thing.
I have much better luck using the website than the app. Maybe try a page refresh, or close the app and relaunch?
Go ahead and plan on showing up even if the app doesn't let you RSVP.

Hey Crew,

As of just now, fires are still allowed. I’ll bring some wood, feel free to bring a few pieces if it’s easy.

Let me know if there is anything you need.

For those meeting in Centralia, I’ll do my best to find a wide open spot somewhere near the New Balance or Nike store on the east side of I5

Randle is the last fuel stop. We’ll do a quick meet & greet and radio check there.

I’m looking for someone to be my tail gunner. Just need somebody experienced enough to make good calls and radio up for breakdowns, group separation, people wanting to pass us, and able to navigate from the rear.

I think that’s everything for now. Looking forward to meeting all of you.
