You know, I've never really considered this aspect of the rally. Because I'm so close to it, I think maybe sometimes I see it in a different way than participants.Nancy and I had a great time. It took a little getting used to the rally versus the swap meet kind of events we're used to but we liked the atmosphere. Previously we've only been to pure off-road events like Rausch Creek or pure swap meet events like Sussex, Gilbert or Aberdeen.
For all of you that are crabby ole chits or bring one with you:For all of you that bring DOGS to the rally PLEASE remember,
1--No everyone likes to walk in DOG chit, tracking it into there trucks, hooch, tent, ect.,
2--Keep your DOG on a leash, so you have CONTROL of your DOG and KNOW where it chits (read number 3),
3--Pickup your DOGS chit,
4--Not everybody likes yappy or jumping DOGS,
5--Not everybody likes DOGS, in fact some dislike DOGS so much that they are only good duck taped to a stick to be used to clean spider webs on the ceiling, or to be cooked and eaten,
So try to be a COURTEOUS DOG OWNER or a KOREAN BBQ may be opened where they take the bark but leave the bite.
Now THAT's funny....I don't care who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!Exactly. My dog said I couldn't come this year cause someone was bringing their Ron.
All I need to do now is quote some of the above posts and we can sell it to Hollywood for the upcoming movie. Grumpier Old Men, Retired Army Camping Edition! Once it sells, I'll take care of the Durhamtown fees and it will once again be a fee free rally. As for dogs, they don't bother me as long as they don't bite me. I'm a cat person but interact with dogs just fine. Step in dog poo? It's inconvenient but I had it happen to my left shoe this year, the foot I broke. I did the usual, dragged it through the grass a little. Although it was painful to do, I went along about my day. Most pet owners I've met consider them more than pets, they're family members. The real elephant in the room has nothing to do with pets. Attendance was down this year. Let's all get along with each other and welcome each other and their furry friends!!! Simp, it's funny you mentioned the muffler. Ron is a good friend of mine but his straight piped 250 is why my better half now insists on staying in a cabin instead of a tent. She doesn't like hearing that truck early in the morning when getting ready to leave on Sunday.
Consider Bowtie Overdrives. The main man owns a CUCV.Also those of y'all that are considering a transmission from monster transmissions don't do it. The transmission we bought from them and put in the green machine for the rally blew up yesterday afternoon just running along easy down a back road it just up and lost all forward gears and boiled the fluid over out the dipstick almost sat truck on fire. Oh well another day another mile and another dollar

So, when we started, it was a cookout in my backyard. No swap meet, just come hang out, talk army trucks. Second year, or the first "official" rally, it wasn't really swap meet. It was "hang out, grill some burgers and talk army trucks". Second official year, it kind of organically morphs into what it is now. We throw vendors on one side of the field, campers and vehicle displays on the other, we do trail rides and then it just does that, bigger and bigger for the next 8 years.
So what did you think, since you've been to lots of other events? If you don't wanna' say publicly, you can pm me. But I'm curious, after you've been to "pure swap meet" events and "pure offroading events", where does this fall? Was it easy to get than hang of what was happening?
I think I'm going to try and do Denton this year. Both Blake and Wheelspinner are putting the hard sell on me ()
