sdixon747 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 The National HDT Rally officially begins today! Check in is from 12 to 4. I ask that not everyone show up at the same time, try to spread it out through the afternoon. When you do check in, please have your site number. Thanks and welcome to the National HDT Rally!

rickeieio Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 It's not available unless you purchase it. I was told it's $10/day. So, I'm on an iPad, using up data.

lappir Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I never used it at the previous Rally's, but thought there was a password given out if someone wanted it. Sort of a steep price unless it's really fast and unlimited, but that's never the case. Never figured it before, but my phone, data, texting and all that for the smart phone cost's around $3.00 per day. Has been that way for many years though recently did take a 10% rise for some odd reason. Hopefully after it's all over some will share photos, attendance figures, and such with us here only on the forum.

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) We used the park wi-fi in past years.

rickeieio Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I didn't personally check, but another rally attendee said $10/day. No rally discount available. Perhaps I was mis-informed.

Av8r3400 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 A great time was had by all, I think! Lack of WiFi definitely put a damper on online activities. Heres a couple of photos I took. Made it home already back to work tomorrow. 1750 miles. 100 less than the typical ECR trip...
