Planning to attend for second year.  Last year's event was so well done I want a repeat, my class suggestions are below: 

  1. Quick Books tips
  2. Self defense awareness
  3. Shooting for sure
  4. What to carry in your HDT to get you out of trouble, spare parts, phone #'s, what to ask if you really must get towed, will insurance pay, tire service, self tire service, tools
  5. Alaska travel tips
  6. Electrical 101
  7. Wine tour

Glad you are going to make it again.  Let me know when you make your reservations.  

Thanks for the topic suggestions.  I have most of those on my wish list for the rally as well.  I am working on incorporating as many as I can.  I’ve got several of them covered already.  I really hope someone with some Alaska experience will step up and volunteer to take that on. 😎

I can't teach an Alaska class from Alaska. But if anyone is planning a trip and wants to ask me questions go for it.

I will be down in Washington and Oregon from Alaska with HDT and trailer for July. Wish I could adjust to make the WCR but I can't pull it off.

If we stay on the west coast we will plan to come.  Our current plan is to go east this summer, but that is becoming questionable.  We won't know until late Spring so we will have to be on the standby list if we can make it.

Too bad, it would be nice to have you.

Hopefully you stick around in the west.  We would be happy to have you at the rally.

So I was experimenting with shirt colors for this year and I am leaning toward a Texas Orange Gildan shirt.  It will look similar to this, although the picture is not exactly what it looks like in person.  Anyone have any objections to this color or have any suggestions for something else?

Heck I'm color blind anyway. You tell me it was any color and I would have to believe you.

If only everyone were that easy to please.  ;)

I am working on the rally schedule and am considering taking a day to go out to a nearby trail area to go run around with SxS's/UTV's/ATV's etc.  I know a few of the attendees have such vehicles and I think it would be a fun outing.  I will be looking around to see if anyone in the area has rental units for those that do not have their own and might want to come along.  Does this sound interesting to any of you???

For those that do not wish to participate the time could be used for projects or other free time activity.  It seems everyone always has something they want done to their truck or RV so I want to build in some project time as well.

Chad,

I don’t have a machine, but would be interested in renting one and getting in on this, count me in.

I am kind of wondering if there will be someone there with a solar set up I can look at.

I'm hoping Karen and I can make it to the rally, things are really up in the air at this time with my shoulder surgery on Monday. We were hoping on going to Alaska this summer starting at the WCR, and then heading up, might make it to the WCR and head home, but your welcome to give mine a look over any time, it's different in the way it's set up, solar panels on the trailer and everything else on the truck, but it works well for me this way.

My system will be on display as well and I will be giving presentations on solar and inverter installations at the rally.

Well the arm is getting better, but the PT is putting quite a hurt on it, it's got to stretch but it doesn't have to do it in one treatment!
We are trying to make plans, but the work schedule, and Karen's mother with dementia is keeping things in the air at this time, I can run away from work, but Mom and Dad needs all the help we can give, as with most families it seams one or two out of the bunch does it all.
