DreamKnight:  This group build really has me intrigued!   Is it still possible to get aboard??  If so, what would the cut off date for a declaration of intention be?  I should be able to put together a plan and round up the gear by Jan. 1 2010 at the latest.  Hope this would be acceptable.  I've never joined a GB before and this one is right up my alley!!  Look forward to hearing from you DreamKnight!
