Nothing wrong with a pop-up. Bill and I both brought one last year.

At least its gonna be +5 here Monday... without the wind chill.

If I come, im bringing a 5th wheel!

Im kinda in a tough situation... It all boils down to what I do with my dually. If I do decide to keep it and fix it(which I REALLY want to) I wont be able to save up enough to go. Iv half decided I want to fix it and sell it. Then Ill have a truck payment worth of cash left over at the end of the month to play on, i.e. RRE.

Damned if I do, damned if I don't...

Does anyone have cabin prices off hand? It's just a fleeting thought but I might be able to convince the family that a trip to Tennessee is in order since the in-laws are on the route in Arkansas and cousins in Nashville. I'd love to go to that event.

Should be around 50 bucks a night. But the lady said they were in the process of changing prices and didnt know what they were gonna do for the event yet. Raise it 10% like they are talking about or leave it the same for us. Better hurry cause they wont last long.

I got "THE" cabin buddy. You have a place to stay if you decide you can so dont sweat that! I think there will be one top bunk open.mallory will prob on the bottom.

RRE is a gathering of ford enthusiasts(mostly diesel) and mostly hang out and meet new and old friends. THere is a parade of sorts to a local dragstrip where people can test their rigs on the 1/8th mile (friday) and there is a dyno competition on saturday. There are large meals in the evenings,one of wich is a potluck style and just a whole lot of hanging out with friends we dont get to see from long distances

Its sponsored by RiffRaff Diesel which is the forum sponsor. I believe its mostly guys from FTE. There were a few random people that showed up last year. A chevy gasser somehow managed to sneak into the convoy
Also a duramax showed up at the drag strip and almost ran into the wall. TWICE!


Thanks man I really appreciate that! I was wondering if all of the families were going to come now! I wouldnt need the entire front room. You can be my bunk mate! Lol!
We'll see. I cant say what my schedule will be like.

Yeah Travis, if it were actually in Texas, I could make it. All of my family is there. It would be more centralized that way too.
