Trying to get folks in the New Mexico, Texas, anywhere to come to Elephant Butte Lake October the 27th for a truck Rally/Get together for a weekend of fun and camping at the lake. Just started getting the word out so no real firm details. One group - Elephant Butte 5 tons https://www.facebook.com/ElephantButte5Tons - on Facebook is where info will be posted as of right now. I figured that I would spread the word here as well. If you have questions or need info I can try to answer and help or direct you to who can. We know there are about 40 trucks at or around the lake from Deuces up to the 20 ton, modified and stock, and would love to see all of them on the beach at once.
Hope this interest folks

Thanx for spear heading this event.
Looks like a great local for an MV outing.
Wish I was closer. 24hr civy vehicle drive each way.
Heck I wish I was closer to the folks in WA State.

I will be there with the deuce and the 5 ton. I will pass the word along to other Butte friends. Also, on December 8th 2012, the annual Butte Light parade will take place. If you have never been down there for that event it is a blast. It would be fun to decorate a bunch of trucks and participate.

Schedule is looking something like this.. Saturday, around 11:00 a.m. - Poker Run and Rally, 5:00 - Potluck. Campfire and Cornhole Tournament after dinner. At some point want to do a group photo shoot. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Bumping this, is there anyone that is going down to the rally from Albuquerque? My plans have changed and I don't think I'm going to make it. Can I give some flyers to someone to hand out to see if we can get some participation in the December Holiday Light event? Let me know. Thanks

Rick
