lappir Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Hopefully at the latest I will begin my trek to Hutchinson, KS. It will be my first pull with the new to me White Volvo 770. Since it's raining, I will be at my Mechanic's shop very early this morning to have the A/C evacuated and recharged. (he's also a Farmer and has been in the field harvesting for the past several days, so I'm sure he as well as I am happy for the rain.) I'll try to post info about the rally and take a few photos for those who are unable to attend. Rod At the rally if someone see's this, often times a crowd soon is noted, wonder if it will work on the forum???

lappir Posted October 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 GOOD MORNING, The 2023 National HDT Rally will officially start in just a few seconds, minutes or hours , depending on when the attendees start getting out of their rigs and start heading to the building. I was out early this morning to catch the "Frost" on my Jeep and took a few more photos. Several rigs were seen by me on my search for "Steve's" shop. I found it and hope to visit it today. I also fulfilled my visit to 650 feet underground and took the Salt Mine tour yesterday. Steve (the rally leader) informed me that there are some interesting new things this year. In addition to the 100 expected Rigs and 220 expected guests, we will now be using the Auditorium for some of the seminars. There apparently is a stage and sound system, not sure if the seating is padded yet, but that would be a big plus. Found a nice little Candy shop/Grocery and produce store down by the "Steve's" shop location that I will visit again called "Smith's". Thanks Steve. OK, I know you are all just wanting to look at photos and not having to read my drivel so here they come. Rod The frost. Lot's of Solar on that Full House.
