Thanks Jim! All We'll need to bring then is snacks and beverages. We'll have jello shots for dessert. MMMmmm!
Mmmmm.....There's always room for Jello.
Coffee may be earlier
Jello's Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

watch it jiggle, watch it wiggle...
no..wait..that's my stomach.
Hope everyone has a great time. Wish we could go. Can't afford to leave the driveway let alone drive to Butler.
Wish I could make it,but the people I work for don't get
Labor Day It's all about money to them
I might have to plan my vacation for then next year,I really want to make this run
I know what you can do, put up a webcam somewhere so we can watch and sit here and cry over the keyboard.
Looks like we might be out on this one too. My Uncle is coming from Denmark and I haven't seen him in years and with all going on it just might be to much. But that makes Keystone a for sure thing!!! Sorry mates there is usually next year!
Its gonna be a great one!
Rub it in Jim!! Rub it in.
Gates open Friday at noon,sorry Paul

Would be Cool
This run is on our list as well. With gas stops and breaks it's about a 14 hour ride for us (give or take). Maybe someday.
Y'all have fun and take an load of pictures for the rest of us.
I'll go if I can borrow two tanks of gas and entry fee.
Oh and not sure if and when I could pay them back.
Gates open Friday at noon,sorry Paul
WTF?
The flyers, the website, the dates on vanning.com, etc., all say August 30 thru September 3rd.
August 30th is a Thursday, right?
Yes it does and we'll be there on thursday.
My fault
No worries...just that I was telling all the guys that I saw you're now starting on Thursday and I know at least a couple of them are planning on getting there by then. I didn't want them ticked at me for giving them bad info - I'm still trying to live down putting the wrong dates for Keystone on the back of the Drunk & Disorderly shirts
Not a problem,we don't want that Rich.They'll get over it!
We will be there on Thursday too! I know today at work will go S-L-O-W. Slower than usual that is :>)
Ya all have fun out there!! (still thinking about sneaking over there for a couple of hours on Sat! We shall see!)
Hope to see ya Paul,I'm outa here. Kerplunk!

Going to a funeral instead. Have a blast and a cold one for me!
Well I'm out. Looks like the bottom tank on my radiator blew out.
Gotta call the shop and see if I can get it in tomorrow. Should be under warranty.
Anyone know if I can pass my pre-reg on to another one of our club members?
Once again, TRV did a fine job at hosting this eVant! 186 Vans thru the gates and Isaac only hit us for @ an hour on Saturday afternoon! Cooled it down for awhile and much appreciated!!! Everyone who missed it, missed a great Van Run!!! Congratulation Three Rivers, for a good job!!!!!
Both Jewels & I forgot our cameras this time!?? lol She shot some with the phones and has to download them yet!
Here's a sneek peek:

Thanks to TRV for another great Butler. Sorry about F-in up the D&D tour shirts and stuff and not bringing everything - our fault. We'll make it up to you. We love you guys!
At least the Black Box made it. Of course when I got home the ground was soaked and I tore up the one grass driveway trying to get the Box back in it's new home. Don't think it's going to stay here now - wife was pissed - oh well, what else is new.
This is Bill Penns van in a 3 foot dith in the town of Prospect Friday night.We helped get it out with the tow truck guys and no body damage.Its the turnpike panel thats been there quite a bit.
Damn, what happened there, lucky noone got hurt
Glad no one got hurt and no damage
Great job TRV, always a good time.
Another reason to "Remember Butler" another great event... oooooohhhhh nooooo mr bill....
Thanks to TRV for the hospitality!
I was able to make it up for just one night and bring my wife along for her first eVant. We were drunk within a few hours of arrival and she was passed out before dark thanks to wine party hosted by the friendly Jello-Land Vanners that we parked by.
Great to meet everybody that I did and hope to see you (and your killer vans) again!
Glad you had a great time Tom and the wife to
