it is really a great get together for any one that loves these old trucks. There is no drinking, no competition, if your truck is of that era and is running bring it if it isn't running ok drive what you have - I sold my truck for health reasons but driving a 38 Studebaker that thinks it's an F10 (ha ha) and they let me come -- if you want to talk trucks and enjoy a weekend with like minded people this is where to be. Doc started it a few years ago and it has endured as one of the best weekends of the yaer. Just remember it is not bragging rights, drinking or showmanship just good family fun.
I'm not an official spokes person or anyything just a guy that has really appreiciated all of these good people that make the effort to put this on- --not a simple task.

OK. I put this off last year and we didn't go, but I was able to get a room so we will be there too. We look forward to meeting everyone.

Are you bringing your F2? If so I want to get a look at the bracket you made for the PS pump.

Sadly I am not. It isn't ready yet. But I'll bring along a spare set of brackets and I have lots of pictures.

A week away ! Just wondering if anyone is coming thru Lexington/Louisville on way to TS16 on Friday morning? If so do you want to meet up for a caravan drive? Also if anyone needs help for a breakdown or just a pit stop we are here. Send me a PM and I will do anything I can to help you out.

Well, the 10-day forecast looks favorable. Little chance of rain until next Sunday (how on earth can they look that far into the future). https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USTN0479:1:US

I just got an email from the park. It's now illegal to transport in firewood from the outside. It has to be certified heat-treated wood. They gave a link to a website called "Firewood Scout", and there are some stores "conveniently" located just outside the park entrance and in the park. I can't imagine how much that will cost.

If I remember correctly, last year the policy was "No outside fires". Something about someone burned a cabin down or a similar story. Maybe Joe will remember the story...........,,,,,,,,or did I dream that

That's right!!! Lol. I remember them saying that. I think it was either your cabin or the one beside it. They said somebody burned it slap to the ground.

I think they have some pits in the camping areas. But they are undoubtedly worried about emerald borers and other nasty bugs getting a foothold, and I can't blame them.

I lost 14 big (100 year old+) ash trees in my yard due to those nasty buggers.

Yes, many areas now have rules against transporting firewood from one area to another. Many shipping palets are now treated.
