Chris, renting the whole park would be a HUGE fee. What about trying for just the fenced area? I think that is more realistic.

Yeah, I'm just being overly optimistic. You know, if we 300 vehicles there instead of 30!
I figure since we are getting an early start, we might have a shot at making this a really big event. I wonder what it would cost to rent a pulling sled for the day? We could do sled pulls on Saturday 
It's been too long since I have been there. How much land is in the fenced area?

A sled would be cool.... I didn't get to GA, did you guys have a cook, and charge for the food, like the FL rally? To have set food times might be a idea.
There is 800 acres total, fenced area is pretty big. I tried to make a map of the trails last year, didn't get it done in time.

The fenced area might be just right for us then.
We could do the food a few different ways.
How does the week of April 20-26 look to everyone? Summer has been too stinking hot. I don't want to do any crotch-pot-cooking this year. June is Aberdeen month so we would lose folks who want to do both. April would still be cool in the evenings for bonfires and we would have some rain during the month to keep the mud holes full. If it rains a lot that month, then we'll have mud drags instead of sled pulls
We could do the food a few different ways.
- Everyone fends for themselves for every meal
- Breakfast and Lunch are on you and SS provides the dinner with fee
- SS finds a food vendor that wants to sell on site for those who don't want to fend for themselves.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Thanks Chris. So, we could do big group dinners on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for everyone who is interested. Anyone who doesn't want to chow with us can go to the Haspin Mess Hall.
Cabell, you want to drive up and cook a hog for us one night?! That was some good pig at Aberdeen 2 years ago! The deep fried turkeys weren't too shabby either!

If my tent has survived the last 8 months on the ground at Mike's dad's house, I might could send it up with JW4x4 for the event. April would be more doable for me but the boys would have to stay home. When is typical spring break?

Wow, I sure would like to make this one But this is what Mapquest comes up with for me:
Estimated Time: 14 hours 51 minutes Estimated Distance: 850.83 miles
I don't think they are talking Deuce time though That averages out to 56+MPH
Could be a couple of long 9-10 hour days.

I want to attend but suspect it with be with a picture of my deuce rather than in my deuce. Long drive. One of the three of us will be there, with or without the steel.

BC, might be able to lend a truck if you wanted to fly in. If all mine are not ready, Crusher might have an extra, he is always trying to get someone to convoy out with him.
