Getting close! I won't be walking around in pain this time, my left foot has healed as good as new and I passed the 2 mile run on my APFT with a 16:00 flat at 36 years of age last Saturday. I won't be bringing crutches in the 5 ton this time so that's personally a vast improvement over last year! Can't wait to see everyone again! I'm going to be busy this year as I'm changing tires at the rally. The market is strong at the moment for round 14R20's so I'm swapping mine out for 395's. Luckily no dismounting and mounting will be done on site as the replacements are already on wheels. Should have a good crane exhibition for people that want to see people getting sweaty swapping rubber around on Friday!

Ok, couple of things.
One, the rally is looking to partner with both local and national sponsors to help support the rally. There are some expenditures coming up in the future and there are some expenditures we had to take part in last year which has left us with less cushion than we'd like. With D-town's fees, we have zero interest in having the rally itself charge people anything, so sponsorships are how we pay for stuff. Remember, the only thing the rally charges you for are t-shirts, food and raffle tickets. Any other fees are D-town's and we don't get any of that.
PM me if you're interested.
Alright, next, an SS member drew these updated maps of our areas and they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the ones I do in MS Paint (I do it in paint because I'm funny like that). His are easier to read and don't look like they were done by a cat high on crack. Enjoy!
Lastly................... we're close. Really close. Make sure you have all your dukws in a row (vehicles serviced, plan on where you're staying, etc.).

In addition, why not ask participants for donations. Anyone that wants to contribute can and those that don't aren't required to. Completely anonymous. You could accept donations ahead of time and in addition have a donation box at the rally. Even small donations could help.

I think private donations are a good idea. Strictly up to the individuals decision. ![[thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbzup]")

We could do a charity yard sale, I have a few things I could throw in, but we would need someone to over see it?

Is it time yet? Welder1 and I will be leaving out of Albany, Ga on Thursday morning. We plan on linking up with PCTrans at exit 101 off of I-75 in Cordele, Ga and pushing onward from there. The past few years we got to the rendezvous in Cordele around 0800 and make it to Durhamtown around 1130. If anyone is interested in convoying with us, let me know. We have tools, towbars, and 3 knowledgeable enthusiasts who will make sure we all get there one way or another.

Does anyone remember if the power at B7 (close to registration) is 30 or 50A?

Clinto, don't forget to post up the waivers and such. If folks bring them completed, it would streamline things.
