Good luck to you guys showing at 8 to a packed waffle house hoping to be out, and on the trail at 9.  I'd either eat at 7:30, or bring a biscuit.  It will be like a ZOO full of wild animals!   :D :D :D

Also, just FYI to you new guys... there are scratching branches to get by on the trails in places, so be prepared to blast forward.

You guys have fun!  I'm sure you will with so many people.

Don't forget we need picures for our GATR Myspace!

Edit: Just an idea with so many people going.

Last time we packed the parking lot at the trail head and had far less people.

Who ever is leading the groups might want to split up at the Waffle House and some of you guys drive to the second entrance if it's possible.  I know it's a longer drive, but it might be worth it.
