Thinking of driving the Baja and bringing a tent but I may bring the patina 
Westy.  Sort of depends on how I feel after busting my butt with so many miles 
lately.  I'm not too great at long distances in a splitty.

  Denis:  Put me down for one.  I think anyone not up to driving to Beartrap 
road is a wimp.  As of today in the past 3 weeks I have put 4,800+ miles (3,100 
in the past 6 days) on VWs and tow trucks towing VWs to go to shows and I have 
another 1,600+ miles to go to get home from this one.  And it ain't nearly that 
far to Springdale AR.
   
  We did make it to the CA Classic.  Just pulled into the motel about 2 hours 
ago.  No real problems cept sure glad I wasn't driving a bus.  Through West TX 
yesterday we had a 60 mph headwind and it was 105 when we came through Pecos. 
In a splitty bus I would havew been going backwards with an overheating engine. 
 Today was very little wind and only in the low 80s when we came through Tuscon 
and Phoenix.  Coolest I have ever seen AZ this time of the year.

  Who all is coming up for Psycoblooie? 
   
  I now know that Mark and Emily are not coming.
   
  Peter says that he is not coming. Kurt should just come without him.
   
  Eric isn't coming because he does not understand about birth control. Poor 
Amy.
   
  After that, I guess that everyone that was here before and everyone they ever 
met will be here.


Hi Denis-

How about a qualified "maybe"?  It all boils down to my ability to convince my 
18 year old daughter that she needs to babysit her Autistic brother on a Friday 
night, so that I can get some traveling done on Friday day in the Santa Fe 
Edition Westy.  Other than that, my wife will be home, and can cover the 
situation.  But 18 year olds are pretty attached to their social lives 
revolving around Friday nights, so I'm gonna have to really work hard at it.

So the best I can say is that I desperately want to come, but all I can assure 
you of is a "maybe".

Sorry.
