Welcome. But this is the kind of thing we are trying to avoid with this idea. We want newbies to pair up with an old timer for more than one specific trip. We are looking here for long term contributors to the hobby and people that want to learn the ropes of the game. Keep your eye open for an old time member that is willing to help you with your credit card questions. That is more of a learning curve than just one trip and something you can share later with the next group of newbies.

I don't mean this post as a negative comment, but more of a clarification of the intent of starting the thread.
