I'm guessing he's subscribing to the way you used to wheel when ya had a rig....you got it, but just won't go anywhere.

Hey Dave,
It looks like we will have at least one extra seat in our group. Heck you can ride with me ifn you want.
I may have some of those corners you need too. they are metal and one would just need a slight persuasion to be straight again. I recently replaced my bent ones with some spares I had lying around. If I did not chuck em they are yours.

Will be great to ride with you bro! If there's a hole, I'll ride Thursday also! :beer:

Will you bring those corners with you? No problem "persuading" stuff back to shape... likely to be the straightest thing on my heep!

I am stoked too Greg!
Just last night, I told the wife I am excited, she smiled, I smiled, and I continued that I couldn't wait until Sunday when we would leave for the Dixie Run.
Did I tell ya'll how I got this black eye? Dang wrenches slipping off! :shaking:
 
Dixie

I thought you were leaving on Monday. I plan to leave early Monday morning.
 
Chips just a little more eager than me.
I am leaving Monday morning, but first thing!!

Sounds like we got you all hooked up Dave.

Oh ,what a rush!

Of all the events I've been to, the DR ranks at the top on the "fun-o-meter"... have never figured out if it's,

the location?
the scenery?
the weather (have gotten sunburned & snowed on in the same weekend!)?
the collection of souls & rigs that journey there?
the outstanding sights AND *sounds* (nothing like the cackle of V8s thru single chamber flowmasters in the AM :lol: )?
the comradery?
the food cooked outside & washed down with frosty goodness?
or something else I've missed?

Whatever it is, I'm generally like a kid before Christmas prior to the DR! :beer:

Depending on space in the Camry, I have plenty to bring... I'fn someone was coming thru on Monday and had more room, I have about a truckload of slabs in the backyard.

We've typically had decent luck finding downed trees (pushed off the side of Trail1) to cut and haul back...

No, I won't be bringing any wood. Hauling a big load now since staying a week. Don't have any anyway. Sure hope someone does bring some. Looking at the extended forecast for Murphy, looks like lower 70's everyday and low 50's and upper 40's at night. I would say a nice campfire would be very welcome!

YEah have seen Dave when he has been in the frosty stuff!

I go because of the trails, None like them anywhere. I go because of the People, like to mingle and talk. I go because of the rigs, love to drool over some of them. I go because of the raffle, always a ruch when you win something. I go becuase I like the whole experience.

Bottom line, this will make number 10, been going since 96 and missed one of them. I have enjoyed them all
 
man i wanna go! spent all my money trying to get my jeep ready, now too broke to go. ill be in callalantee sulking that weekend if anybody needs to join me.
 
wood

I will try to "remember" to load enough wood to keep us warm.
 
Well tree wood is ok and fresh lumber burns too. LOL

I dont know how much wood will be taken this year but last year there was enough fresh wood to fill a 6 foot bed to the top. It created one HUGE mother of a fire. Anyone remeber the "VOLCANO" sized fire near my tents?? Damn 30 foot high flames and was so hot it almost melted my friends soft top on his TJ:shaking: :lol: :eek: This year we will not have a inferno.

How many rigs will there be this year going from this board???:confused:
 
meet me off I 40 near what 331?? I forget.

and we can swap it into my truck bed if Its not already overflowing with wood. LMAO!!!!!!!!! I am building sides on it just to haul the large amount of wood I am bringing. If you can meet me on thursday i will bring that wood the rest of the way and have a big fire for everyone to see and some to enjoy.:bounce:
 
The problem with the big fire is that there are many tents that a small ember will burn through. I will have 8 Propane cylinders I would rather not have exploded. Jeep tops as you mentioned work a lot better if not melted. Please keep it under control. There will be many people there, more than last year, so will be very close quarters.
 
I don't plan on bringing much wood, just a few dry pieces to get the fire started and my chainsaw to keep it going. (already downed trees of course)

I too am bringing more gear than I can haul already. I am toying with the ideas of bringing a mig and a generator for whatever but I have no way to lock em up while on the trail. not to mention fuel, grease and spares, food and camping gear for the week...... and a extra D44 TTB for Crystal.

We all know why.....:bronco: :burnout: :eek:

Hey dogboy, try to keep your fire under control this year.:shaking:
