you can't park your vehicle under a roof due to fire hazard, but you can have your BBQ grill going with 5 foot flames shooting out the top and that's fine.

I agree. Be smart and use your disgretion on flames etc. as I was told!

Yeah I'm with you on that Dave. I'm guessing the thinking behind it was when the building catches on fire you'll still be able to get in your van and get the hell out of there.

Hey Johnny - I'm interested in the cruise. My current plan is to convoy up with Alpine Gary from Pittsburgh & arrive by Wed evening barring any incidents. I'm planning to park with the Flying Dutchmen club. So - if you see me - remind me about this because it sounds like a cool little cruise. I've still got a lot of y'all to meet!

Meet at 11:30 outside front gate after van classifications on Thursday for a LOCAL CRUISE (Approx 10-15 miles by my best estimate) ending at a local restaurant / tavern (Jody’s Tavern) for cold drinks / food. Approx stay 1-2 hrs to make it back for the Pub Crawl! Stay as long as you wish because the final destination is 1.5 miles from Nats Gate!

Please note that we cannot be blocking intersections on this cruise! Mostly right hand turns so we should not have to wait at intersections long!!! Everyone will have a map supplied in case we get broken up!

Please reply if you have interest!

I have a newbie question about the 2014 Van Nationals held at 392 Old Schuylerville Road, Greenwich, NY 12834:

I'd love to attend but I likely won't be able to take off of work for Wednesday/Thursday/Friday. Plus, I'm a little uneasy about having my 74 make the nearly 4 hour trip in each direction (long story). But I'd loooooooooooove to see the vans... So here is my newbie question:

I THINK I can just jump in my car and do the 4 hour drive on Saturday morning and attend the "11-2 PM Public Van Show and people’s choice voting", right? If I did this, could I check out all the vans without attending all the other festivities/etc if I drove there in my car (and just left my van at home)? If so, just curious, anybody know the cost to just attend this public van show?

I did visit the ww.42ndnationaltruck-in.com website but since I'm not going to be able to miss 3 days of work/etc, I'd still loooooooooove to check out all the vans and wasn't sure about the above... Hence, any help/info would be enormously appreciated about the best way to check out the vans -- while skipping most of the other stuff.

Thanks in advance. smile

Yes, you can do that, you just wont be allowed into the grounds where the vendors are and the camping is.


The public van show is usually free.

Astro,

Thanks for the info... looks like that is what I'll do (assuming the weather is nice that day)... It seems worth 8 hours of driving -- maybe I'll spend the weekend up there seeing other sites also. If you've got recommendations for other stuff to do/see in the area, please do feel free to make suggestions. smile

PS: Just curious, rough, approximately how many vans are displayed at the public van show on saturday morning? Just curious.

well to your question on how many vans will show at public showing, The last one I was at they had about 100 vans lined up for the Saturday show in Ohio last year. But I hope that maybe you can come and enjoy the entire event. Vans will be on display on Friday and depending on weather will they show on Saturday. I know I will be out there showing.
