Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Alright! The second meet-up is in the books and I had a great time. @Darrell , @witchdoctor_33 and @PipeFighter met meet for a good breakfast this morning and then we went and beat the back roads west of Buena Vista, starting with a stop off at the camp sites we checked out last go round.
We made our way down past the reservoir and found a couple little fun spurs. Near highway 130, Mike @witchdoctor_33 took point and we hit the Parkway for a bit. @Darrell developed a mystery sound we couldn't pinpoint and he decided to break off before we could get any photo evidence of his existence, but the rest of us hit a couple more neat dirt roads and wound our way off the mountain to Natural Bridge Station where we grabbed some gas station grub, posed for a group shot then parted ways.
I had a good time today and it was great meeting Darrell and Mike and seeing Patch again. We talked about trying to get together again next month sometime and trying to do something like a day trip to Big Levels. We also discussed a possible weekend trip sometime to do Big Levels as well as Reddish Knob and Flag Pole. We'll talk more about that and get it hammered out so keep your eyes out for those.
I logged the route and I'll try to get it uploaded this week. Patch also sent me some pictures he took this evening. I've got to get better about taking pictures...

@TerryD, @PipeFighter , @Darrell it was great meeting you guys , had a blast today. Looking forward to the next meet up!
I think the driveshaft center support bearing is going bad. Lots of slack in it and i've got a vibration.

Oh wow, that's kinda sudden. Have yippy checked for a thrown wheel weight? Won't cause the slack but could be the vibration.
Well that sucks, we'll hopefully it's a fairly easy swap. Do you have tools & a place to work on it?

Hey guys, I got the track logs uploaded, you can get to the map I made in Google from the first post of this thread. I'm just going to keep adding tracks to that map as this goes on.
