Many trucks to see and good people to converse with. If interested, please mention so here. We would like to get an approximate head count for the dinner. Local 'Bolters welcome too, let us know how many! I'll post the address soon for the Google Mappers and GPS users. Thanks,

Count Vicki and me in.
I just found out, that Bill may have been a pole vaulter in high school. If so, his coach is our neighbor at the lake.

Depending on what time we're to be at Aldersons we could meet an hour or so before, get a quick nickle tour and roll out in a pack.

Scott | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 137 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 137 | First off, thank you very much to the Alderson's for putting on the event. We'd like to bring something just let us know what you would like. As for meeting at Mongo's, I think that is a great idea! Maybe even a short tour while there! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | Maybe a dessert dish Mike, but all we really want is everyone's company for a few hours! Everyone with an interest in old trucks is welcome, you need not own one to partake! The more, the merrier!

Do you have a round-about time to meet at the Aldersons?
We will not make Mongo's tour and will be ready for the hotel not too much later.
I want to thank the Aldersons for their hospitality and encourage more bolters to attend.
It is a show in itself.
Great People!

My thought would be to convoy from here out to Alderson's about 5:00 Should be an easy 20 minute drive. To get to my yard from Interstate 70 and the Noland Road Exit (Exit 12) Here's a map. Really easy to get here. https://goo.gl/maps/SC44ciQzuWnHere's a map of our Route from my yard to Alderson's https://goo.gl/maps/xETdvG1jarP2Just to Clarify this is not my open lot that several Bolters visited before but my Salvage Yard of just 34-72 GM Trucks. Here's some pics they're 2 years old and a lot's changed but they'll give you the idea. https://goo.gl/photos/esieXzMSPjt5fUg87Mongo | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,600 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,600 | Wow!
Thursday.
Junk Yard Tour.
BBQ and a private museum tour.
Friday
Vicki and I may not make the Steamboat tour Friday and will be setting up the StoveBolt HQ.
Live band Friday night and Saturday afternoon from what I have read.
Saturday
The show, with 200+ trucks, a few How to seminars, Group picture, the Stovebolt meeting, and then a BBQ dinner at the park.
Sunday
It will be a slow start and loading trucks.
May stay around for the awards and we usually get several from our gang.
If Vicki and I stay very long Sunday, we'll probably stay at the hotel Sunday night and head home Monday.
Don

We can help Don with setting up if we get in early enough.
We will have to be on the road by noon Sunday due to early AM commitments on Monday. We can visit a bit Sunday but cannot stay for awards.
Looking forward to meeting some of the crew.

I thought about throwing a lasso at you, but being your first time there, John, Peggy and I will give you a free run for a while.
I used to have a good throwing arm, so don't get too close.
You will have a better time than you think and you will be back.
