    I am not so pleased to say I am going to have to bow out of this trip. It came down to either going to this or the Fest, and I just can't miss the Fest. I hope everyone has one helluva time and has a few beers for me.

    I usually make sure I have enough to feed and water myself for the weekend. An other way you can do it is plan we whom ever you are carpooling with. Share a cooler, save some space. Sandwiches and fruit are easy. We have been known to stop somewhere on the way up and grab some local brew we can't get down here.

    If anyone is looking for a ride or has room for someone post it up. In just a few short days we are riding Kettle.
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    Thanks for the tips AG. What would you suggest for equipment? I thinkin basic tools and tubes. Anything else?

    I plan on taking my wife and 10 year old boy Gabe. Is there anybody else taking any kids? The other is off to a soccer tournament in Indianapolis.
