I got caught too procrastinating but I got help here in the forum from a ham thread. Good luck to you.

Send @MrWilsonWJ a Dm... personally I don’t care if more get added to the group, but it’s not my call. As for dogs, Mr. Wilson is bring his and I’m bringing mine...
Be warned my dog is kind of aggressive the first day at camp, but by the second day she is cool with everything. I kind of want to introduce her to everyone before we hit the road.

I am also okay with an addition. Should get the group's approval just to make sure everyone is comfortable with it.

I'm good with another person coming along as long as the rest of the group is. The non-OB member that was a maybe for this trip can't make it so this would have us back to the original rig count. As for dogs bring them along, if they like to wander bring some lengths of rope for a make shift runner between trees if not let them roam. Our dog is generally off leash when we're in the woods but we can keep her tied up if any of them don't get along. What kind of rig are you running?

@Maedge pack your bags... looks like you are in on this one.
Give us some intell. What are you driving? How many people, apx what time would you think you would be coming into camp? How do we let you know if we aren’t at one of the predetermined camp sites? We are running CB and FRS for coms, do you have either or both? I have spares, just need to know if I need to bring them or not.
Im very very excited... Thursday can’t get here soon enough.

Sounds good, we can run those channels on the way up and we'll try to make contact as we get closer. You and Mike D. (@PNW EXPLR ) might be getting up there about the same time if he leaves when he was wanting to. Might talk with him about possibly meeting up on the way in if times work for the both of you. Also a little about the road going in so you know what to expect... First 11 miles off of HWY 410 up to Bumping lake campground are paved, the next 3 or so miles are dirt road with rocks and pot holes, kind of rough. The last 1-2 miles the road is a little more beat up, same rocks but there is also ruts and some tree roots to navigate around. All is fine for 2wd and full size... I saw a car up there on my last trip, not sure what his undercarriage looked like when he was done but he made it in there.

@MrWilsonWJ the Rose Clan plans have changed, we are leaving out of La Grande at 8 am to meet up with Mike D and convoy up with him. The cooler we are waiting on should be here tomorrow instead of Thursday.... if it’s not here tomorrow then the other tracker on it says Friday, so we won’t be sticking around to find out.

That works, looks like I'll be the last one getting up there. There was another person from Kennewick that had RSVP'd but I haven't heard anything from him since, even sent him a DM last week and no reply. Hopefully I'm not later then 5
