My van told me not to get a flyer...It knows the way....Carol must be working overtime on the front gate setup...

Ta Daa!!!!!
Sending my pre-reg in on Monday!
I'm sure she is Doc.Work weekend for TRV getting all the little stuff done.Maybe drink a few beer
Don't forget, this is the next to last leg for this year's Drunk & Disorderly Tour.

TRV will be putting on a keg (don't know if it's Saturday or Sunday night), plus we'll be selling & stamping shirts during the free beer fest as well. You won't want to miss this.

So come on out and support our local clubs!
Question from Fort Brewster - Trading Post,

Will electric be available for vendors?

Yes it will be.

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. cry
Wish I could make it,but the people I work for don't get
Labor Day It's all about money to them frown
Maybe next year guys.
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!lol
Its gonna be a great one!
Rub it in Jim!! Rub it in.cry

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. lol Oh and not sure if and when I could pay them back.

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 lol
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 smile
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 :>)

Odometer Update after Butler
[Linked Image]
WOW! Racking up the miles now
That was a sweet looking van!Great weekend and great times with all the vanners.
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.

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 lol.We had way to much fun!
Great Job TRV !!!! Since I missed it I will be back next year even more eager ( as a Beaver ) than before !!!lol
Glad Jello-Land could help! Enjoyed having you. Talked with Jane quite a bit, nice girl. Sorry she crashed early. Thanks TRV, once again a great job!
