head up for October get-togehter

[Plymouthy Adams]

Okay..going to start out in plenty of time so hopefully those folks that are close enough or have the urge to just get-away can meet up in Elko October the 27th..we have plentry of hotels at 10 miles out and of course for the intrepid traveler, we have a couple acres..throw up a tent...sleep in the car..whatever..only thing is that I would ask always, would like to have a general idea of those who can attend for reason of lunch for that day...

think it ovr..if you can get here..would be a great time to swap lies, kick tires and put a face with the name of the forum..

[Young Ed]

Tim I'll be there and you can do some body work demos on the 48. Hey figured I'd start swapping lies early.....

[adam_knox]

Oh boy! I hope we can make it this year! I won't know what my schedule is until October, but circling it on our calendar! Will bring desserts. When its just the two of us there's hardly a justification to make desserts, but now we have a reason to make some tortes!

[scottyv47]

its a little early to make it a definate but i'm going to try and get there, i think your only around 3 hours from me

[claybill]

tell me more about this .....plymouth event in georgia.! 1 day 2days..?

[Plymouthy Adams]

just an opportunity for some of the forum members to get together at my place, day event..however don't let that stop you as there are other events and sights in the area that may be of interest to you..we have a very large aviation museum and of course Andersonville is just down the road, a must see for civil war buffs..quiet community about 10 miles from town, surrounded by cotton and peanut fields

it is just a time to get together, chat, discuss tech stuff, kick tires and "munch on some grindage" get to put a face with a name and so forth..not sure of the food yet..mums has charge of that..I do not think anyone has gone hungry when here..

[Don Coatney]

I just booked a room for Lisa and I at the Marriott in Warner Robins so we have plans on attending.

[Plymouthy Adams]

Last time we had one of these was a send off for Chris and Jerry to continue their way back to Canada after an unfortunate event left their car in storage at my place a couple months....Even Merle Coggins was close enough on a business trip to attend...even if you do not a a car ready for the road, just don't care to drive the ole tin that far etc etc..bring the modern iron, get out and meet some folks..according to the Mayians, this is your last chance..

[Merle Coggins]

Sounds like fun. I wish I could. I highly recommend it to anyone who can make the trek to Elko. Tim puts on a good spread and it's always fun to kick tires and listen to tall tails from a bunch of car guys. And as the man says... you don't have to come in a classic vehicle. I showed up at the afore mentioned event on my motorcycle and I was welcomed with open arms.

And a grand time it was, too. Anyone anywhere within one or two days drive should think hard about going. See posts 9 & 10... http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=26625&highlight=long+road+home

[faucet47custom]

I'm definitely planning to attend. The last get together was a great time and the impromptu car show in the yard was nice as well. It is great to meet some of the other forum members. Nice to speak face to face, not face to screen. Besides, Tim I will go ahead and warn you I'm gonna try and talk you out of the D24 front bumper Lou sold you.

[falconvan]

I'm giving it some serious thought; if I can work it out with my job, my wife and i will be there.

[Aussie D25]

OMG this will be the Saturday that I am driving from LA to Vegas on my "belated" Honeymoon

I'm going to miss this meet up but compared to Australia I will be soo close.

Dammit ... would be so great to meet up with the grand high masters.

I will bringing this up from now to the event at least once a week as a reminder..we have some member who only check in every other week or so..

have gotten a number of out of towner responding..would be ideal to have a whole gang here...

again..ole car would be nice but if you have to bring the modern iron to get here..bring it on...no one will think less of ya I assure you..

[BobT-47P15]

I looked it up via MapQuest...........here's what it said: Joplin to Elko, GA...

14 hours 18 minutes / 848.89 miles. Don't know if I could get away

with that trip, but it would be fun.

[Plymouthy Adams]

ride share man..ride share..Mary Ann (think that is right) is ready for you to take a vacation I am sure..

[Plymouthy Adams]

bringing this thread forward as a reminder we are now into a new month and the countdown is on for the get together..Have had a number of repsonders and am hoping the head count will be good for the event.

[falconvan]

Im still hoping to come, Tim. I'm scouting a new job so it will depend on if I make the switch before then.

[Plymouthy Adams]

we would all like to meet up with as many folks as possible but we also understand that family and work have priority...

[RobertKB]

we also understand that family and work have priority...

They do?

[Plymouthy Adams]

yeah..to my thinking anyway....if you plan any type of career with benefits, roof over your head, food to eat , health insurance and possibility of a bed warmer come winter..

[littlemo]

Tim; ya got room in your back yard for a "Ferd" C-Class camper ??? If I can get my darn generator fixed by then, I'm trying to make arrangements?? Maybe hook-up and "Convoy" down with some others from Missouri ?? Cass, alias littlemo...

[Plymouthy Adams]

If you self contained I am on 2 acres...for others that wish to camp...we can accomodiate a few spots...got place for a camp fire near the garage where I do my own low country boils and such...if you need full facalities...travel camper site about 3 miles from the house..another about 5 miles down the road..have no way to drop heavy power away from the shop..

[mayflower48]

I am glad BobT said Elko GA, I live in Reno and was thinking Elko NV. Don't think I can make it to Elko GA.

Maybe the 27th should be meet in Elko day. We seem to have a few Elko's going around. I know there's one a bit south of me in MN. They even have a speedway(thats the only thing I know they have).
