My name is vangremlin, and I'm an eagle-holic...but i'm not looking for a cure.  I can't get my fix from the old watering hole any more, so I thought I'd migrate to the Den and join in on the fun.  I recognize a lot of the old familiar faces here, and I think you all have the same affliction I do.  Anyways, thanks for having me, and I'm really looking forward to lots of Eagle talk with none of the drama.

eaglebeek, I think twoslow will be pulling a trailer so I'm not sure if the Sonic would work, but I'll leave it up to him.  I'm open to just about anywhere.

Laz called me last night. I think he also made contact with vangremlin. Last I knew, he thought he could find a place to park his rig. He said he would call when he left Co. Springs. He should arrive at the Sonic at around noon Sunday.

For anyone who may be "listening in",  the Sonic is on Founders Parkway, exit 184 off I-25, just north of Castle Rock, Colorado and to the west of I-25.
