    Holy cow, I was up until 1:00 last night packing. Why do I take so much stuff. I hope to leave here around lunch and get there by 4:00 PM. Driving a Dodge with a hideous trailer in tow. :cookoo:

    Somebody has the fever. No amount of fun could get me there quicker. It will take every minute I have from now until lunch time thursday to get my work done and packed. I will start getting ready for next year, NEXT week. See you guys in two days.

    Attention all interested people. I have space B7 reserved (I think) which is a 30 amp spot. I think it might be next to the kitchen stuff. I plan to bring a old kitchen tent which I would like to set up. I have also made up a cord that will plug into a 50 amp pole and it has 2 - 20 amp 110 volt...

    Well no one has an excuse not to have a truck to drive. My father-in-law just called me and he wants to sell the M35A2 I "gave" him a year ago. It's really nice and rally ready. Of course it would have to be bought. My M813 will be sitting this one out. I will be in my M886 instead. Too little...

    I just checked my gas welder and the gen. recepticle on it is the same at the RV plug. So I have everything I need. My electric welder has a standard 3 prong 50 amp plug. I have an adapter I made for it. I'll just have to convince someone near me to let me plug up. Looking forward to the rally...

    Hey its 11:00, don't you people have jobs? Seriously, I did some research and it appears the 50 amp spots do have 230 power. I will need to make up a plug for my welder, but since I have a 30 service, who will let me plug up the welder at their 50? I am at b7. Anyway I will make up a plug that...

    OK, a couple of things. First off, I will bring a bunch of 4" sewer pipe and several "y"s. I can join all this together and the kitchen stuff can be dropped into the line and run out in the woods. We can set a real wash station above it too and have a place for anybody to wash up with real...

    OK, I have a few things I need to share. First off, I usually plan big and deliver small. I hope to chance that one day before I die. But for now I am suffering from the three "B"s of the small business owner. They are: Broke, busy and behind. All three at once too. So I have had to cut back...

    I will bring my projector and the old films. It is also a nice PA system and that might be useful to some of you all. I will have to get a new microphone. Mine has dissapeared. I could use my daughters "barbie" mic. It's pink. The projector is also military surplus, how nice. If anyone has a...

    A report on the new showers would be nice, like DH said. Also could you take a voltage tester and confirm if there is actually 230 volts at each of the new spots in our area. I called about that today and I was told they are all 230 volts, and I just have my douts. If they are RV plug ups...

    I'm sorry but I am not a "t-shirt" guy (man boobs problem) but when I think of "dark" colored shirts (I work out side in sunny SC too) I think of these two. I personally like OD in any rally or MV event shirt. Even so I approve of anything I don't have to do the leg work for.

    All this talk of "operators" inspired me to finally post a video to youtube. It's a video of me loading concrete on my first bobbed deuce. I miss that truck. If you have nothing better to do, watch it. It's 10 minutes of your life you will not get back. This is the truck I drove to the first...

    I just changed my "rv spot" to B7 in the new area. If we get a layout of the area at some point I would like to see the spots. Depending on how the area is laid out I may want to change spots again so my lights and so forth can be set up next to my spot to prevent drop cords from running across...

    It sounds like a great plan is coming together. I will get with Mike sometime over the next or so and look at the shower stuff he has. I will have my light kits there and will not need a generator to power them. One thing about me I would like to point out. I attend these rally's because I like...

    Might I make one more suggestion to ease the discomfort of the change. I think if we can round up enough stuff to have a "break" area (that's all I could of to call it) where attendees can sit down, hang out and socialize, it might eliminate the need to go back to the cabins and so forth to...

    I smelled trouble when I noticed there had been about 30 post today. This definitly changes things, but that's OK. I will call in the morning and move my "rv" spots to the new area. If it is OK I would like to set up some kind of hot showers and so forth at the new field. We have electricity...

    The real job is not the lights, it's the hitch. That is a lot of towing and there is no easy way to mount such a hitch. The cabins are going quick. No cheap one's left as of last night. I am inviting my wife to join me and she is concerned about places to shop and lodging. I thought I would rent...

    I'll throw this out for everyone to think about (and by everyone, I mean the couple of you that make the decissions). If someone will rent spot 77 (I can if need be) and if we can get permission from DP, I can erect an arch that we can run the 50 amp and a water line over. Just a thought. A lot...

    I just reserved spot 64. If you guys get 63 we can use the power from both. That will save you guys a little money and as long as I can park there at night I will be good. I got 64 for Thursday night until Sunday morning. I wasn't sure what everybodys plans where and I thought it was you all...

    I am thinking about reserving a RV spot this year to pull the "dodge" into each night (I need power for the CPAP). I must admit I have not read most of the thread but am I looking at the right spots? It looks like spot 65 is what is closest to the site and is the one the gang wants for the...
