Ya trust me I'd love to be there Friday. I'm currently in San Antonio for a school until Sept 11th. I fly outta here Friday morning and land in Sac at 130pm on Friday afternoon. The wife is going to pick me up and I'm going to haul butt for home and load my rig so I can leave EARLY Sat morning and head for the trailhead. Luckily I had time to do my pre-run inspection and get all my tools together before I left. All I basically have to do is pack her up and go. I think I'm going to trailer it this year. If all goes well I'll be into the Springs by lunch on Saturday. I want to avoid the afternoon crowd and hopefully get a decent camp spot. Last year by Saturday afternoon Big Sluice was a zoo.
