I'll be there Friday 10/25 around 6pm with my deuce, two people and camping until Sunday. I'll bring some firewood.

Edit: Should be there by 2:30.

 

[71m109a3]

I will be there Friday with my 1009 and some fire wood. My friend will probably be there again as well, with his Land Cruiser. Looking forward to it.

 

[max1008]

Dam, just realized I will need to renew my membership at RC.

Ill get there friday night. Stay until sunday. Not sure about vehicle yet.

 

[maddawg308]

Will be there Friday around noon, stay until late Saturday night or Sunday morning, as usual. No vehicle as of yet, still broke as ****. But can bring some firewood and maybe a boombox with some tunes.

 

[TurboMustang370]

Looks like me and one other person coming in the 932. Chances are I'll be there Friday evening and staying until Saturday afternoon/evening.

 

[sirpecka]

I will be coming with 1 other person and my duce. I can make it Thursday night if I have to. Its about a 3 hour drive from the top of nepa and will be there until sunday. I can bring a hefty stack of wood pallets if you guys would like for fire wood. I also have two military generators. Ones on a trailer. Its a 10kbw. I wouldnt run it at night because it will wake the dead but if you think we need it I can trailer it right behind the duce. My smokehouse trailer is unfortunately gone so no hardcore grilling.

Good to hear. Thursday night arrival is a big help. Pallets are to big to burn in the fire rings so that is a no go. Big genny's would only be needed for welding. We haven't messed up anything that bad yet. Bring it if you like. Heck, I'd like to just see it.

 

[sirpecka]

We could all charge our phones while burning about 25 gallons of fuel an hour! We could also power pretty much all of the park with it in case of power failure hahahaha.

Yes we have. First RC rally in fall 2007 formernewMVguy lost his brakes due to a failed wheel cylinder. Took a small welder to get him back up and...um...stopping.

Are you aloud to cut dead falls ???? bring a chain saw????

 

[00888]

Looks like I'll be coming (99% positive) down on Thursday afternoon with one guest and camping till Sunday. I'll be bringing my M109 and inverter generator (nice and quiet-ish) plus tons of other camping stuff. May have two other Deuces coming with me from Niagara Falls.

 

[daddy2]

I'll be there. Planning on Friday morning/ noon to late Sunday. Will be nice to try out the Camper off road. I'll have wife and two kids at the least.

 

[daddy2]

I can bring rigging chains and tow straps. I can also bring plenty of fire wood and a big 55 gal. tank for drinking water. A few cases of beer may fall into the back of the camper. If you guys need me to bring anything in particular, let me know.

Bring fire wood. Sounds like you have a good start on supplies. The water can't hurt either.

I want to see the camper!

 

[maddawg308]

I really wish we could bring our own fire ring (i.e. tractor rim). Those dinky 14-inch car rim fire rings they have there you can barely get a couple pieces of wood in.

I miss campfires made out of stacks of pallets.

 

[max1008]

I have a fire drum if that is allowed.

 

[Jakelc15]

I'm going to try to make it. Hopefully with the camper and family.

 

[Timberwolf22]

Count me in...... the M35a3 wants another "shot" at making it to Rausch Creek.....

Will have M35a3 w/w with S-280 shelter in cargo bed.

Plan on showing up Friday and camping thru Sunday. Wife and boys (3) plan on making the trip as well - in the chase vehicle.

Will have firewood, MEP-016c generator and camping supplies.
