Could they go? chaparro, I haven't called Twin Creek recently to see how we are doing on sites left...I'd suggest you give a call and tell them you are with the Ford Trucks rally to see. As far as others...as Matt said...the more the merrier...as long as the girlie men bow-tie guys have thick skin...they should fit in! Seriously...I have yet to find ANYONE that camps no matter what they drive that isn't a decent person...somehow there is a correlation there... Hope you can make it! If you do make reservations...please PM me with your email address so we can coordinate names of all that are going. My wife and I are helping to coordinate this rally and there will be name tags for everyone so we can keep names straight...if you have kids...she's organizing crafts for kids so make sure we got info on you so we have enough stuff for everyone!

Yeah, they could be fun (in laws) and I can test my new tow strap on that Hummer. Fords are good at Hummer rescue.....

This is going to be a great event. We have lots of goodies to give out and I think I have a new sponsor on board. I'll find out this week.......

LOL, those stickers are WORTH the 4.50!

[MarkMoore]

I called Twin Creek and they said they still have a few sites available... it's May 2nd folks, if you're thinking about attending yuo need go ahead and get your reservations in before they run out.

Only 83 Days Left!

[X_Hemi_Guy]

Next topic here is going to be T-SHIRTS...stay tuned...

We are currently in process of working with a couple of shops for printing the T-Shirts...once we get a sample...I'll post a photo of it.

We'd like to get this taken care of by the end of May as June for me (personally) is a tough month as I'll be pulling the TT on a 4000 mile trip...so unless someone is willing to assist with coordination on the T-Shirt orders...my schedule says we need to get this done by the end of May...thoughts or volunteers?

Mark,

THANKS for checking with Twin Creek...I called last week and Mary was out...and I forgot to call back...so a big THANK YOU!

OK - it'll be hard on me, but I volunteer to take the 4000 mi trip for you. This will give more time to dedicate to the t-shirts... I know, I know... it's a sacrafice, but I'm there for you Joe... really, no thanks are necessary.

Mark,

Remember...4000 miles equates to roughly 500 GALLONS of gasoline (give or take a few )...If I'm not goin'...I'm not payin'

Joe.

Well - if you're gonna be that about it, you aint getting my help!

[X_Hemi_Guy]

Okay...since Mark didn't want to pay for my 500 GALLONS of gas!

I'm still going to the Grand Canyon and points near there...

I'm trying to organize some stuff for Gatlinburg as much ahead of time as possible.

We've got a fellow FTE member that has graciously arranged for DollyWood DISCOUNTS for us as a group and possibly a group picnic discount if there is enough interest.

For those that are simply in the Gatlinburg area (locals) if you just want to join us that would be cool too.

I'd like to get a head count of people interested in going to Dollywood so I can call them to see if we have enough for a group discount ticket.

Please respond if you are interested and how many would be in your group.

I'd like to offer TWO different day choices.

I'd assume during the week would be a little less crowded than a weekend...but I could be wrong.

First choice would be Monday July 28
Second choice would be Saturday July 26

Let me know who would be interested, what day and how many.

Thanks!
joe.

[X_Hemi_Guy]

Okay folks,

We have gotten a sample T-Shirt printed up.

This version is for the Excursion owners Excursion T-Shirt SAMPLE BTW the Ford Trucks Rejects will NOT be on the final design!

We need to come up with a slogan for our Super Duty brothers.

Smokin' the Smokies 2008

Ford Super Duty Smokie Mountain Rally 2008

Super Duties Super Smokies Rally 2008


(The next three lines are ONE shirt)
PSD's vs V10's
Get Ready to Rumble
Smokie Mountain Rally 2008

Things like that.

I'd like some help in coming up with Super Duty themed slogan.

Pricing is NOT finalized yet...but should be in the $10-12 per T-Shirt for up to XL I believe...larger sizes are available a a slight price increase. I also believe childs sizes are available too...all FINAL PRICING will be available shortly...

We're going to come up with an internet order form to pre-order and pre-pay. If you want your shirts shipped to you before the rally there will be a shipping charge (to be detemined).

We can have a couple of different colors for the shirts as well as a Women's V-Neck shirt for ~$12

Those not wanting to pay for shipping...we will have them brought to the Rally by either myself or another that is near the printers that is coming to the rally...

What I need by Thursday the LATEST is a SUPER DUTY THEME...so respond with some ideas so we can finalize the shirt.

In all honesty...I think many Ex owners would be interested in a Super Duty themed T as well...unless it is all smoke and not smokie themed! LOL

So please respond with your ideas by THURSDAY MAY 18 if you have some.

Thanks,
joe.

I don't particularly like the FORD EXCURSION REJECTS wording. WTF? WHY?
