Any thoughts on where to stay?
Reading some reviews, the hotels around the I-70/Noland Road area do not come with very good ratings.
I'm thinking to pay the extra and stay at the Drury about 2 miles east on I-70? They always seem to have somewhat of a decent breakfast and clean rooms.
Just a little more than two weeks away!

The Drury Inn & Suites and Independence/ Blue Springs is a nice place. Stayed there a couple times.

OK, that settles that, I’ll make reservations at the Drury this weekend also for Friday and Saturday nights.
Friday evening we will meet up at Mongo’s or a slight chance at the Alderson’s for BBQ and a tour of their private collection of vehicles.

Drury has a “free happy hour” that pretty much amounts to a full evening meal (for me anyway) and a couple free adult beverages. Or whatever soda, etc you want.

Don,

Are Friday evenings events/possibles open to any that can come?

Will be my first time attending a 'Bolter event since 2014. My only participation back then was at the Truck show at the park during the day on Saturday. Pretty much makes me an old time "newbie" (lol) so not sure how this all works. headscratch

Thanks,

Dan

Yes, that’s the one I was referring to. Hopefully that was the one Don booked.

I’d say I’m at least a 50% bet to start the journey, and the truck is 50% likely to make it that far. But it’s still my plan and I will book a room. I might need to start heading back Saturday evening. Have some other family stuff to attend.

Saturday will be a day at Mongo's and some BBQ. I have a taste for some smoked pulled pork along with some Dutch oven smoked baked beans.

Thanks. I saw that but it sounded almost like a side event. How many trucks are usually there?

ole green,

As noted above, my 1st event there too. Suggest you ask the question again in the "Agenda" post found under the above link. This thread is mostly info for those needing overnight lodging.

Also recommend you read through that entire thread as there are 2 separate events that make up the whole weekend. Pretty sure most info you would be interested in is already there. thumbs_up
