    Thumbs down

    OK everyone, we have had three people drop from the list (Ascinder has not replied yet, but he told me he is not going cause he has to work).

    At this point, I am ready to cancel the whole thing. My wife doesn't wanna go, Richard, Clint and Beau are out. I know Richie said he might have to work which leave me, Justin and James. Not that I don't wanna go but I am a little discouraged at this point.

    So I am a flake? OK, well how many on this thread or anywhere feel that way so I know where I stand.

    Clint, don't overreact, buddy. The only problem I have is that people should have said "maybe" instead of "yes". Like I said, hopefully I won't get dinged on the $138 worth of campsites I booked.

    Im not over reacting. I dont know why im being called a flake. Life happens and unfortunately I cant afford it. I said Yes instead of Maybe because we WERE going.

    and like i said if out money I will help with what I can.

    Well whatever I am, I am sorry, I appear to have been the one who broke the Camels back.

    Clint, not really, it just seemed like everyone cancelled on the trip at the same time all of a sudden. I saw you and Cari on Friday night and everything seemed cool, and then Saturday it was a no go for half the crew. Its really not a big deal.

    I called and cancelled. I will be charged a total of $60 ($10 fee per site, plus my $10 non-refundable reservation fee). For those who cancelled, don't worry about the money, just kick in a little to the forum for me.

    I think it was all the star wars imagery that was the deal breaker...
    I've been lurking this thread, and everything was coming together nicely, until yoda & darth appeared...then the feces started to hit the proverbial fan...

    Don't feel too bad Clint, as you said, life happens & rarely goes as planned.

    OK, dub..
    As if it wasn't bad enough the trip fell through, now you have to start jabbing your pointy "finger 'O death" and blaming Jedi

    Seriously, it must not have been meant to be...It was starting to sound like a firearms accident waiting to happen

    Surprisingly, my girl is more bummed than me I think. She was really looking forward to meeting you all and seeing the VX squadron!

    Guess I can just save the dough to put in the Moab fund!

    Have a great weekend, all!

    Best,
    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

    I have a Sith sense....I see Darth people...

    Like maybe to prevent a nasty firearms incedent, or a not too pretty trail mishap...

    Ya just never know, but everything does, or doesn't, happen for a reason...

    Yeah, at this point, I am cancelling the trip alltogether. Maybe we can try for another weekend.

    Sorry fellas, I guess it didn't work out. Hopefully I can cancel the reservations still and not get dinged to hard. I know there is a cancellation fee, but hopefully they will be nice and not hit me for all three sites. I hope I have enough time to cancel.

    Justin, come over to Reno in your new Jeep and we can run the Rubi or the Fordyce Creek Trail. Seriously, anytime, bro. We got 2 spare beds.
