beyerjf Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 How about we do the tetris thing with the time lapse photography like we did a few years ago.

sdixon747 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I am probably going to set up and do another time lapse of "Picture Day" parking. I'll also bring my drone so Gregg can get some aerial footage of it. Getting a time lapse of all the rigs parking in the RV Park is not practical. Someone would have to get a camera to a high enough vantage point and leaving it there for a week or more. That just won't work. Remember, a lot of people will start showing up as much as a week early, as soon as the Good Sams rally is over. Maybe I could take the drone up daily and get an updated photo of the day's arrivals. During the rally, I'll try to keep the Facebook page updated so that those of you that can't make it this year will be able to see some of the stuff going on.

sdixon747 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Just a reminder, the National HDT Rally is just over a month away. If you haven't sent in your registration, it's not too late. If you plan on coming but have not sent in your registration, please PM or email me. If you are going to mail in your registration, I will need to receive it by September 16th as we will be leaving shortly after that. If you can't get it to me by then, you can still come and pay cash at the rally. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 It should not be overwhelming, you just drive a day at a time. Besides moving our trailer from the dealer to a storage site and then from the storage site to a temporary location, that is the total experience we had before leaving Maryland on our full-timing adventure. A couple days and you will be more comfortable.

This will be our first trip across country just a little overwhelming Howdy dan412, I live 50 miles northeast of Seattle, I'll be leaving from home on October 4th, I like to have at least one extra day in case something happens along the way. This will be my 3rd National Rally so I have an efficient route figured out, that said, I am a Walmart camper when doing long trips to a destination where I will then be staying in a camp ground. When I do this trip I spend the first night at a Walmart in Caldwell Idaho, the second night at a Walmart in Rock Springs Wyoming, the third night at a Walmart in Lexington Nebraska, pulling into the rally site on the fourth day. This allows quick travel on good roads and provides a safe place to spend the night each evening of the trip. I know some look down on those of us who camp or I should say OVERNIGHT at Walmart so be it, it benefits Walmart as I always need something and it benefits me as I can't justify spending 30-50 dollars a night when all I want is a safe place to park and sleep.

HomeAutom8r Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I have not seen anyone else ask, so here goes. Any idea what the electronics project is going to entail on the Wednesday? I seen that the ECR was a photon controlled tank monitor and some comments that it might be the same. I am in the process of getting parts ordered and such and wanted to make sure I won't miss out on the fun - been many years since I have played on the hardware side of electronics.
