[tjsahara00]

I had to use email to get through to Mike

[tcdawg]

Trying to book a cabin but phones are not working in DC(my cell or my office - odd). 
When is everyone leaving? Caravan up?  Everyone going up 75-40-etc?

I'll be leaving to go up that Thursday morning. Traveling up 75

[DOUG]

East side boys will go yo the east route.

I need a bunk cabin split.

[Krawler00]

First year since we began going to Harlan that I will not make the trip. Just too much going on.

[jgerhard]

Can't wait to hit mason jar, killing time, pinball, and a some of the other trails I remember from my first trip with JRay.  The old links on the forum to the detailed trail map are not working, does anyone have one?  The one on the harlan county trails site is too low resolution.

[Danny Kinder]

Confirmed that I have a cabin, just not sure which one.
I'll split a bigger cabin with someone or grab one of the smaller ones. Either way i can't wait for a Harlan night ride!! Mason jar at night is legendary

[BlueJew]

I'll go in with you, Danny.
