Haspin Rally 09 and Info.

[Stretch44875]

Updated 6/14/09

Rally is over, thanks to Cabell for the food, and everyone that came for a good time!

Dates are Wednesday through Sunday, June 10-14.

Some new information...

Cabell is cooking, see link for menu. 30.00 for Wed night through Sun. morning. Less if staying less days.

Spoke to Pete, he is going to rope off the area for us for Wednesday.

Prices are 13 dollars a day. Most times we are not charged for Wednesday night. That is with discount, just mention steelsoldiers, or army truck gathering.

Need to know how many are attending.

Going to make a map with trails marked on it to pass out. Need to make it larger, 8x11 isn't going to work.


Depending on the amount of people that show up and want to get out on the trails, we may be running 2-3 convoys on each trail ride time. I would expect Saturday to be busy.

Suggest that you bring a decent FRS/GMRS radio. Each convoy would have it's own frequency, and a camp frequency. I know most won't be able to hear in the bigger trucks, but a person in the lead and rear should be in quieter vehicles and able to communicate.

Will hand out schedules at rally. None of this is mandatory, just times so people can get out on the trail together. Any more than 10 people, and lunch or supper can last 3 hours when everyone eats at a different time.

Possible night ride on any date.

[gimpyrobb]

Wondering if we could get one of those big QUIET gensets this year.

[docfarmall]

[Stretch44875]

NO BS POSTS. We already have a 340+ reply thread to sift through. Just who and what are attending, and suggestions.

 

[swbradley1]

I plan on attending this year with or without one of my trucks. Hope to be there on Wed or Thur

 

[kipman]

Now I am in the right spot, myself and oldgrunt, is helped needed for the food?

M818, M35A2, M715, M200A1.

 

[Oldgrunt]

Has anyone gotten hold of Haspin yet, to see if we can get some room reserved? Stretch thanks for taking the bull by the horns, add my other brother Cory to the list.

 

[Stretch44875]

When we arrive on Wednesday, the park is empty. Be able to rope off a large area for ourselves.

 

[drmeece]

Tammy and I will be there Saturday for sure maybe friday night,,1 m35. There will probably be some friends from my jeep club that will come and check out the action on saturday..

 

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

Stretch, Thanks for spearheading this. It looks good, keep it updated. Do we need to provide a list of ss members to the haspin staff at check-in? We have done this in the past to get a group discount on admission. Saves everyone a couple of bucks.

 

[Stretch44875]

Will have plenty for group discount. Just need to call a couple days ahead. Still waiting on more info for the food idea.

 

[Stan]

Nice job, hope to arrive Thursday. Three people, the truck and the Jeep. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

 

[TheRainbowBoxer]

My friends Jordan and Preston are officially coming with us Stretch. Looks like someone is going skiing after all...

I plan to make it - probably from Thursday to Sunday. I hope to bring an M109, my M37, and my two pint-sized bodyguards. I'm pushing for a couple friends to join us, too, but no confirmation on that yet.
