New update on the ECR schedule. David Dixon will be presenting on Truck Conversions and Bed Lighting requirements. David is known as NukeE on the forum and those that know him will recognize that he is imminently qualified to give a great

discussion on these topics.

February update. 23 attendees so far with more in the decision making process. Sorry, some folks have signed up that I am not sure of their forum names. If they wish to post here or pm me I will update the document. Getting closer everyday.

Count is 24 now. We will have some stragglers as things get closer. Was in touch with Kim. They were without electricity for a week but have it back now. Lost about a hundred trees that uprooted but thankfully no property or personal damage or injuries. Roads and sites are clear so we should be good. May take my chain saw and help her clear a little bit and put the wood at 336. Wasn't going to get my hopes up too high but she had already begun surveying and staking for a new pavilion that would be in the back loop and would be ready for our rally. However the site took a hit and with the other urgencies, now on a back burner.

Are you guys thinking of reconsidering? New games and challenges :). Not that far from Crossville to Alaska.

No we're not planning to come east from Texas. We are heading out to Arizona to chase down Vern & Chris. Just wanted to know how things were developing. We'll miss the fun. We've really enjoyed our three trips to Crossville for the ECR.

I sure wish I had the time to make it out to the ECR.........maybe some of the EC people should come out to the WCR. ;)

 

We also would like to come out, but as Hone says, someday (sigh).

My wife, Deb, and I will be attending. We signed up a couple of weeks ago. We went last year and stayed in one of the cabins. We were looking at ideas for converting our Freightliner. Then some guy stopped by and wanted to buy it for commercial towing. After seeing some of the rigs last year we wished we had bought a Volvo, mostly for the creature comforts and auto-shift. We sold the Freightliner and bought one listed on this forum from Seamo.

 

See you there!!

Dustin,

 

We will be pulling in on Thursday and leaving on Sunday as well. I have an overseas trip and leave for that on Tuesday morning. Shouldn't be hard to spot my little 4 door baby truck among the big boys...

Dustin, David, Several of us will already be there so you will get to meet some of us. Most people are coming in on Saturday so you will get to see the rigs in all their glory. We do have a meet & greet happy hour Saturday evening so the majority of folks will be present. Look forward to seeing you.

Phoenix;

 

Maybe you could just pack up a small swimming pool, bring that, and maybe that would ward off the cold weather!

Bill, thanks for the offer, I "moteled" in Jay's 780 couple Rallies ago in Kansas when I just flew in into rally, it was grand.

 

The decision point is:

1. Possibility of delivering and installing an ET at the Rally. If that's the case, I will bring my 780 to the Rally

2. If not, I will drive in and "motel"

 

Carl, Davena and her mom will not be coming, she just turned 99 and there comes a point when such excursions are just too much.

Carl has been merciless LOL.

 

 

C'mon Bill "merciless"? Persistent maybe, but "merciless", :)
