I was thinking the same thing. Is this a new sponsorship? If so, I'm up for some free gas !!!
I'm not a sell out, but when ever I fill up its with techron. Free gas please.

Yeah, my A/C recharge failed miserably, so I'll be driving the hot part of the day with the windows down. I picked up a couple of 12V fans though and it's better than nothing.
I'm brining my EZ-Up for shade and lots of cold beer 
Save me a spot at camp 1.8t!

The can I had left over was not very full, it will have to do. Cooler weather on the return trip so no worries. I prepacked all my diet crap and foods... going to try to stay healthy... but Sat night could get ugly.

Looks like there has already been a breakdown or two in route for some, but they appear to have all recovered.
Last update from HoustonPhotog has him at a laundry mat just up the road from the gathering.
Man I can't wait to get out there...It's killing me having to wait an extra day
