In order to gather information on how many are coming down/up/over for ALF 2009 and where they are tentatively staying.

Ok so here are the rules for this thread.

1. Only put in one post per person ( or group if you know who is in your group).

2. Don't start any other conversations ... in other words take any other discussions outside of this thread.


This is also in one of my posts below but I will duplicate it here.

Since some people don't lile to put up their email or cell numbers in a public forum.

I am going to compile a list of who is coming and then send it out via email every few days as I get updates.

Could you please email me the following info:

1. Real Name
2. Nick name or cboats name
3. Cell phone number

Please email info to cmnypny at hotmail.com

I am also keeping track of where people are staying based on the posts in this thread.

and I will arrive no later than Friday 13 from Mexico in my truck. For 15 year I've been listen to these horror stories of the drives form Canada and the snow they had to drive throught to get here. Let them break out a 16 hour through a blizzard story I'm goin to tell them about 38 hours, fightin my way north through Nortas, runnin battles with drug lords, havin to stop to do the Micos and other tell of horror.

I'll be sleepin in my own bed with my own wife for the first time in two and half months. I hate havin to borrow other people stuff for sleepin.

I will be there the whole time. (I live in Knoxville). I will be paddling both weekends and a couple of days during the week (more depending on water levels). It should be a blast.

I'm planning on being in the Area from around the 12th to around the 22nd. By in the area i mean somewhere between Rock Island, Asheville, and WV, depending on where the rain guides are dropping liquid sunshine.

I'll have room for a passenger or to...haha.....Might even have room for a boat. Will probably be bringing my Cascade and Mark's Finkenmeister for sale if I have buyers arranged.

Between gas and buying a new boat, I should be pretty dam broke. So you if you see me standing there with a heel of white bread hitching shuttle.......gimme a daggon beer!

First weekend
