Phil: I'm John Trussell on that list a few posts back. But, seeing as I won't be comeing just use it to buy pie's for the guys or something LOL. Donate it to that HS paintball team. Sorry, I so wished I could make it. *sigh....

[cphilip]

Spray, I realized that and held out your check from the deposit. I am gonna tear it up. Sorry about your situration. I was looking forward to seeing you again but what you are doing is more important than this is. Anyway, just forget about that check. It was not cashed and I am just going to destroy it for you.

[Sinistarr]

Hey cphilip, is there going to be maps or directions from the Days Inn to the field? I may have missed the info regarding that, but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks,


G

[cphilip]

Yes. Directions... I will drive that route to be sure and take some rough measurements tomorrow and post that up tomorrow night. And I will have several guides at the Hotel at 7:30 waiting to lead anyone wants to the field. Also please note the phone number to the field as we will have someone man that phone for a few hours to help anyone lost out there find their way in.

Did you track down my reservation Phil? I know I sent it in but it was early on when the site was having issues.

[cphilip]

Awww don't worry about it Load. I think its there but I made a note of yours anyway.

Latest weather for Saturday is saying low around 40 and high around 65. Mostly Sunny. A bit chilly but perfect realy. Lets hope that holds!!!

[Mango]

Wow thank you very much Phil! Yes I wish I could come and see everyone again too, I miss all of you. But there will be more time later, I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon!!

bofh: I got the tank, but it turns out I need a diffrent/newer drop because mine is too old and isnt made for the tapered raptor. I'm trying to get someone with a kapp dz or something like that.. I really want to use this thing. I hope to go to the paintball store by the end of the week and try to find a drop..

[cphilip]

OK from the Days Inn we will have a few guides at that location to lead groups out at around 7:30 AM. So if you want to meet there its right on hwy 123 in Clemson.

But from the Days Inn turn left out of the parking lot onto Hwy 123. Go about two miles to the Issaqueena Trails exit and take the exit off to the right. At the top of that exit turn left and continue on Issaqueena Trail till it dead ends at a Stop sign on Hwy 93 and take a right. Go about four miles and watch for Robinson Bridge Rd on your Left (there is an Amoco station just before this road as a land mark). We should have a sign out there on 93. And then go down Robinsion Bridge till you see the Gold Dragon Paintball Sign on the right. Turn in there and your good to go.

You People following the previous directions from Charelston area and coming in North on 123 (your step 10) can by pass that bunch of turns by coming on further down on 123 to this "Issaqueena trail" exit and then adjusting for the fact that you are coming in from the other way follow the rest of that.

Also you do not have to take I-185 the Toll road. If you continue on down 385 it will hit right into 85 and you want to then go south towards Atlanta till you get to rest of that. The toll road saves very little time. Its not worth it for the few miles it saves. I have no real Idea why they built the thing!

Write down the Gold Dragon Phone Number and call if you get lost we will talk you in or come find you!!!!!
