That's sweet. I am 8 hrs away but love a road trip. I only might get wheels as that's all need but who knows. We were allowing 2 days Do you think that's adequate?
From attending other swap meets, I'd also suggest: take a wagon if you have enough room, carrying parts around gets old real quick, especially if heavy. Add an easily read "parts wanted" list to the sides, you might be surprised who has what you want. Have a way to secure your finds if you are taking a pickup and/or open trailer, nothing worse than coming back to find someone else wanted the same parts you just paid for. Go with an open mind and a fat wallet, you don't want to have to leave without that perfect something just because you left your money home because you were going "only to look". Don't forget the sunscreen and a hat!
Spring Carlisle is very big, very big with all types of stuff, all makes, all years, cars and trucks. It may be easier if you can wait for the All Ford Nationals or the All Truck Nats later in the year. The weather might be nicer too, never can tell. 2-3 weeks ago we had 80 degree weather here in Central PA, yesterday we had some kind of sleet/freezing rain and this morning I had to scrape frost off my window!
One good thing about any Carlisle show is if you order something from one of the big repop places they will bring it with them and you can pick it up there and save the shipping charge...
