<DIV>For those of you that haven't heard the Southern Ruck is on
again. I've updated the website to reflect this years program. Of
course, presentations and hikes are subject to change and weather. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Pavlov's dog spoke to the NOC today and she informed me that there are only
38 bunk room spots open. if you plan on attending I suggest you give them
a call on their toll free number 800-232-7238. Other than the bunks in
basecamp, the NOC runs the Nantahala Inn, only a short distance away and
there are motels in the area as linked on the website. Please remember,
although the baecamp bunk rooms are heated no linens are provided, so it would
be wise to bring a sleeping bag. Showers and rest rooms are available in
the community building.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I urge those tht are attending to get in touch with Georgia Dawg and
Vera after Thankgiving so they can coordinate the meals.</DIV>
