televisionman007 , check out posts 213 and 214 in this thread, those guys are near you. Drive your deuce, you will have a great time and if you break down there is plenty of help available!

I drove mine 1000 miles round trip last year to the Ga rally! It was my first long trip in my M109 and I had to do it all by myself; no convoy! I was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! I made it with no problems and had a blast driving it for 9 hours each way!

Vinny, if the deposit has not been met yet let me know and I will donate some more to help offset the cost.

If everyone that posted they where coming would purchase a ticket we would have more than enough for the camp site plus a dinner or two. I guess alot of people are waiting to pay when they arrive? I think the last head count on prepays is 21 tickets.

Vinny, I did pay for one day since I can only come up for the afternoon on Saturday. If the $10 wasn't enough let me know.

On another note I will be driving up in my wife's van Saturday morning. If anyone from the area wants to catch a ride with me there is plenty of room in the van. Just send me a PM.

Im still on the fence whether I can come or not. Id like to come, but im not sure how well my 2 year old will do sleeping in a tent. And if I come it means I gotta go out buy a tent and a air mattress so the wifey will be comfortable. Sleeping on the ground is not her idea of fun. So we will see if all the stars align for me or not.

Ok it doesn’t look good for me but we will see what i can get done in 2 days after i get back fromy my vacation . My question is, is there anyone leaving from Tampa/st,petersburg that wants to convoy? If so shoot me a pm of when you are leaving.

 

[cessnatwin]

Jack, I wil be there with a few trucks too and some other members from the site!

Hey Trevor,
We will be leaving early Friday morning from Wesley Chapel. I don't know which day you were planning to go.

 

[Green_gator]

I am planning on leaving in the afternoon on Friday. No way I will get out before then.

I'm a stay at home dad and just sit around the house when the kids are at school. So if you need an extra set of hands working on your truck let me know and I can come over and give you a hand.

Stalker, how early are you leaving and are you going 54 to Zhills? I will be coming up 98 to old lakeland highway to dade city but could change route to join a convoy!

 

[RAYZER]

If everyone going could post up ,location,day and approx time of departure and route, some more convoys might be established!

 

[Recovry4x4]

Phil, let Rick know that the shear pins finally fell in the mail box yesterday, should have them tomorrow.

 

[stalker]

Phil,
We are planning on taking 52 to 301. We are shooting for 7:30am departure and I'm hoping to stop by the gun shop mentioned in a few of the posts.

Are there electric sites still available? If so, my M109 is prepped and ready. Otherwise, I may rethink the vehicle choice....

Well it still doesn’t look good for me but i will know as the time draws near. Also Walter I will give you a call this evening.

you forgot to check your H's and T's. Along with the treatment of a post arrest patient, Also with a patient in arrest one of the first things you need to do after establishing the airway and compressions is start an IV or IO. you also need to know the drug dosages, indications, contraindications, rapid vs slow iv push, what kind of airway you are going to use, how to treat stable & unstable V-Tach, so there is a lot more to a ACLS class than just remembering an cardiac arrest algorithm. But any way, It is just a refresher class, but it is still 14 hours of fun.

It's so nice to be the Driver/Engineer EMT of a ALS Engine. I get to take you there and back, and get to listen to all the "how tough this medic stuff is...."
