I've got an interest level of about -3 on a scale of 1 to 10 for watching a bunch of grotesque-looking lowriders with 18 wheeler wheels, earsplitting exhausts, and sound systems that shake the ground parade around, but I'm planning to be there for the after party at the park pavilion, and participate in swapping some bits and pieces with other stovebolters. I'm also bringing my smoker, so there will be freshly prepared pulled pork BBQ sandwiches, Cowboy Beans, and fresh made coleslaw for the Saturday evening meal! Don and I will be sharing a cabin at the state park again this year.

Last year we had a group meet up for Dinner on Thurday night at the Road House restaurant, we will probably do that again.
Don... I Was thinking the same thing about a small grill at the show, I'm sure it's been done.

I'll take the lead on that. If the show don't like it? All they can do is tell us to put it out.
Maybe Alvin will have the soda to go with the dogs?

(Wonder if you post that you are going in the *new and improved* Great Lakes forum. Maybe you'll get a response closer to home.  Just thinking. I remember tracking the Bolters as they were heading to KC in the early days of the Reunion. I went over to the local library twice a day to log into their computer to check the site and our email. Before the days of laptop. And not too many with cell phones.  Sounds exciting ..

Yes, we did register a couple months back in hopes of having a truck ready to go....but...oh well, the most fun is hanging out with fellow Stovebolters and talking trucks.
--Tom | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,586 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,586 | Tom, I have been on the fence weather to haul a truck there or not. Entry fee is 40 bucks with two day passes for two people.
Walk in pass for two days for two people is 30 bucks. So not a big loss there and a whole lot less work.
Right now I'm leaning heavy on bringing the 57 GMC one ton. But also, I can haul everything in a smaller pickup without a trailer.
I'll decide next week and looking to be in Lebanon that Thursday.
