If you want to pay Durhamtown's primitive camping fees (or rent a cabin/rv), then yes; you can show up tomorrow.

I think any time after Saturday October 5th would be ok, as there will be others there by then.

Rayzer and I will b there sunday the 6th

What's the earliest a person can show up at the rally? I was thinking about getting away a bit early.

Form my understanding people will be there starting the 5th. Some are going to be helping with Adam latest project.I hope this one has breaks. LOL

I am planning to depart my home around 1200, and be at durham town around 1400. I confirmed my camping spot today, so I am all set. I am bringing my push lawn mower, so I can have that " manicured feel" around my FOB.

SUpper friday night is Hamburgers.... at least for me and the wife.

I'm jealous of all you guys that only live a half day away. My plan is to leave S Fla Monday around 0900. I have to go to Blairsville GA and deliver some goods and spend some time with my brother so likely, I'll arrive at the AO on Wed morning. Need to finger out how long the drive is from Blairsville to Union Point.

2 1/2 hours, unless you're driving a MV.

Current plans are to roll outta here at Oh-God-Thirty on the 5th. Hoping to show up around lunchtime, or shortly thereafter.

Middle is likely a fuel filter base. If you don't get it fixed by the rally, we can probably work a fix for it.

I have one I can bring, previous owner swapped it for paper filter, said they were prone to leak?

 

[Jimma]

Is there a threat or post to order shirts?

We plan on being there to the 8th to set up but we will officially there on 9th. We plan on leaving 10:00 am leaving after streamline finishes his chores. I'm hoping he will just get them out of way quickly. We only live about 45 minutes to Hour way.

Okay, so today some of the behind-the-scenes people who plan and run the rally showed up to D-town to make sure the rally goes off without a hitch.

I'll bet a lot of people don't realize what goes into making a rally this big successful. It's a lot of stuff!

Today, SCSG-G4,Squirt-Truck, Dumpster, mdmorgan, mdmorganwife, Swiss and I showed up, bright and early at 0830 to do the rally recon.

We discussed changes to the field from last year and how we'd lay stuff out. We inspected the field to ensure minimum conditions were met and that the area was safe (we had D-town take down a tree that had broken and fallen about halfway, for fear it would fall on someone). We had a meeting with D-town Mike to iron out any issues.

D-town provided 6 porta potties (free of charge) in 2012 and will provide 8 this year, so hopefully this will help out.
They will be leaving the dump truck for use as a dumpster.

They plan on having one of their employees there Thursday, Friday and Saturday to take payments for trailriding and camping fees. This could change but it's the plan now.

In 2013, no one will be allowed on the trails; as a driver or passenger, without proper D-town armbands.

We spent several hours running new trails so that we could take people to new places and found several that will work, but we'll need a trail clearing party on Wednesday. If you have a chainsaw and want to help, please contact Squirt-truck.

We will have parking for very large/long trucks and trailers, as requested by Papabear. It will be marked on maps we'll be posting shortly and on the rally flyers you'll get at the registration desk.
There will be a loading and unloading are for heavy items, aided by 5 ton wrecker(s).
The Hardball Convoy will likely have a LEO escort.

As I remember more stuff from the meeting, I'll post it.

Oh......... how about some pics?

 

[clinto]

Oh, more you say?

If Squirt reads this, Atomic and I will make it up there Wednesday afternoon shortly after lunch with at least one chainsaw and some guys ready to work. We have gloves and safety glasses so we'll join the working party. It'll make the beer taste better when we get done!!!
