    Not too much slab between Hag and the LZ. Lots of great roads in between.

    Put me down for a definite maybe. I've been trying to get to BYOB for several years and something always seems to get in the way. One more try.

    I made the one in the Hocking Hills a few years ago.

    It was really hot out, even with mesh gear.

    81 to staunton then 250.

    380 on interstates, 70 on backroad twisties.

    still a solid 8-10hr hack...i might not be in good enough shape to make it happen in such a limited time since i'll have a lot on my plate. this is why i'm not signed on fully.

    :huh

    The interstate portion should take 5-6 hrs, depending on whether or not you speed or waste time at stops. The twisty bits should take no more than 1.5, for a total of 6.5 - 7.5 hrs.

    I'm not suggesting you try to get arrested on your way there, but at a normal pace it should be an easy day for a young buck like you :deal

    OK all you artists. You know who you are. :D
    Dan (gsweave) asked if my son would be interested in doing the t-shirts for
    BYOB since the 2010 issue was such a hit:

    [​IMG]

    We just kind of winged it on the design since it was a late decision to do them.

    This year we would like some input from the inmates as to what ya'll would
    like to have on said shirts.

    When you send your ideas in, send them here AND also to:

    afterdarkdesigngroup@gmail.com

    Put "Attention Chris BYOB Shirts" in the subject line.

    We'll field design ideas until May 1st or thereabouts and then begin
    production.
