Default JOE NALL COUNTDOWN FOR DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL

So how many days do you really have? We can use this thread to countdown the days till Joe Nall and the days you have until departure and arrival. I'll start first.

16 DAYS left till we leave and arrive same day on Saturday May 10. Actually a 4 hour drive.

Hey Rennie, Buddy and I will be setting up at the main flight line. We arent on Spektrum so we can't fly down there. But we are bringing Mac's golfcarts with us so we'll be down there watching all the chaos. Maybe someone will let me get a handle on the sticks.

We will be leaving Sat morning the 10th and will be arriving Sun afternoon. It is about a 18 hour drive on I20, but we are going to take I30 because of all of the constuction and the rough roads in LA. It should be less time but a few more hours. Cant wait to see all of the guys and gals at Triple Tree.

We're leaving Wednesday morning, the 14th. Plan on arriving at Triple Tree on the morning of the 15th. Hope we can find a nice spot at that late date, down by the new flight line.

Short drive for me 2 1/4 hrs, closest event I go to I think.
I will be there the 7th or 8th visiting friends, camping, cholesteroling, fishing, flying, and watching some of the greatest pilots in the world.
I want to camp down by the river if it is ready, even though I do not fly 2.4.
