My bro and I will be showing up at some point on Tuesday too. We are planning to camp at Area BFE in his tent trailer he mounted to the front of a custom 3 axle trailer we built (see pic below of his rig and also his tent trailer). I will let you know what trails we are doing. I am pretty sure we are doing Pritchett on Thursday, just FYI...
