tico..... I got a 10 x 10 canopy to use and of course i will have quite a few Napa contribuitions to the event. I hadnt spoken to Mike much but he has come thru again for you...

Thanks Matt much appreciated. Where you successful with the other item we spoke about?

Mr. Jeepy, I'll be very happy to see you on the trails again after a sebatical of a year, hehe,hehehe.

Mandy and Lori and any other members ladies; I will need your help in the morning, afternoon and evening to run the 50/50 for us?

I would not just pick the women to do the 50/50. I know some of them are not might look friendly and look like they are having fun but want nothing to do with standing in front of a ton of people they don't know. I know Emily gets snappy when she is put in situations like that. Just a warning ask for volunteers first.

counting down the days... already unpacked and repacked the jeep twice...

who is camping overnight?

Alex is still in the air... he had a family emergency today so i won't know for sure yet...

Looks like I'll be camping Sat night as well.
Will you guys be at the site at RC right across the road? This is my 1st time tehre so i'm not too familiar w/ it.
couldn't talk wife into coming (esp now that it's looking like rain), so honestly I'll probbaly just sleep in the back of the 4Runner (esp if it's raining, who wants to set up a tent in the rain)... ah the beauty of full-sized vehicles...

As you drive into the Rausch Creek Park facility turn to the right and yuou will see the camping grounds, there are the hotel camp site too, hehehehe that's where I will be. My wife Sonia will be with me for the entire event, this is a first for her....good support and she know this is important to us and the club.

what does the count look like for registered participants?

Adcanced registrations are 19, at the door to be determined? As of today we have over $4000 in raffle donations, so thse of us lucky enough to buy enough tickets could walk away with all!

Andy and Angie bought $100 worth of tickets, Greg Knoll commited to buy $300 worth of tickets, still waiting for more challenges. Randy will not be joining us thos year, due to other commitments. Members of the Blue Mountain Jeep Alliance have several members, PAJeeps have several members, CORE has several members and few none club related too, then our group shows the rest!

Enthusiasts that normally participate in this event have felt the pinch and there is a loss of about 22% across the board in attendance. We have to call people, remind them, send e-mails and blast the forum boards acroos the net.... let's shake them up!

I have a tent for the food 20x20, a 10x10 tent for the raffle stuff courtesy of NAPA and Matt Elick. The Sponsor have stepped up, now is for the off road community to do the same.

Sorry got winded. I will be at the Comfort Inn camp site, hehehehe Frida night i have a room for meetings and discussion about the saturday projects and so forth, drinks will be available too.

You can count me in for $100 in tickets. We wil be coming up saturday morning I think and staying at camp comfort saturday night. Sunday we will be out in time to catch the 4:00 skins vs cowboys game at Damons off exit 69.

I haven't seen any mention of this on the MD Creepers or MarylandJeep Club boards, those might be good spots

Well looks like I'm going to head up to Camp Comfort friday due to getting up there late and the rain. If there is not rain I might wing camping if the rain isn't heavy.

I think it will be raining all weekend. I'm putting the windshield back on with the bikini top and doors with upper doors and calling it good. we will be eating dinner at Damons on sunday and watching THE game.

Wow! I am at $4600 worth of prizes!

Ok I'm going to ask what seems like a really stupid question...

Having never ben to RC before - how will I find this group saddling up for the ADA event etc? From what I gather, there's just one entrance... after the gate, then what? Is there a specific place in the park you are meeting?

it like a big parking lot. people that camp normally go to the right. people that are for the day normally go to the left. normally meet on the left side, but since its a two day event not sure what side. its not going to be hard to find.

Well The wrqngler is dead, won't start I have power but no ignition? I give up! I'll be bringing in the Grand Cherokee for the greens if I have time. Got the truck loaded, Man I do carry a lot of "Stuff" Borrowed Pauls Trailer, affraid of stopping, looks like the trailer is going to fly over my head in one of those stops. And I am tierd!, Been up since 4:30 this morning, unable to sleep in attincipation of the event. If you have an ipod, that's how we will get the music now. Bringin Pauls sound system too.

Shit what would I do with out that guy>>>>> Wait till you see what will be waiting for you after the trails.

Got the name banners now, came in yesturday. Well, Sonia nad I will be heading out by 7:30PM, with any luck we will be there by 9PM see you guys at the Camp Comfort Inn.....hehehehe

Well, Sonia and I made it!, Nester, Ryan, Matt, Tina the kidds, Mark, Clarke, Brain and Friend met us at the Comfort Inn. Wow, it was en extra long day since I have been up since 4:30 AM.

Just finished accessing the merchandice for the raffle and it Totals $5029.00 Scary to be so damn accurate!, But NAPA thanks to Matt Elick donated 2 vehicle batteries and a Tent for the club....Sweet
There ara a lot of things planned for this morning, hope we get a great showing. Our tentative count now is about 34 rigs! Yet there are more to show in the morning...we will see...
