PA,MD,VA,NJ Dyno day/Picnic/Chapter start?

[GFoley]

Hammer,



It is a bit late for me to consider attending. This is the same weekend that the Scheid Diesel Extravaganza is happening in IN. Maybe I can swing through on the way home and visit inlaws in H'burg and make part of it.

Any decent campgrounds in the area? Can you suggest one?

Campgrounds

I haven't spoken to Hammer this week, but if you look at his post at the top of this page, he was working on a campground / motel list. There should be quite a few in the Harrisburg/Dillsburg area. Look forward to seeing you there. You will also notice that he has obtained a sponsor for the event who is going to award door prizes (hopefully), etc. Also I have posted the event on The TDR Calendar, which you can access by clicking on the calendar button at the top of the screen, and it is scheduled for August 25th/26th.

Meet Directions. etc.

I'll also post directions later in the week for dyno and am just about done with a motel/campground list,,I hope all can attend it will be a blast,,Lets start getting together what we all want to bring for food and drinks,so we can get the necessary grills needed set up for that day,,Let any of us know what you are interested in bringing,,drop a note to me or jstyer,,I'll check in as soon as I return this week... .

This is what Hammer posted earlier. He is a truck driver who is on the road Tue thru Sat if my memory serves me correctly, and according to his quote, he will post the directions and campground/motel list when he gets home this weekend. . As to the calendar, it just brings you back to this post so until Hammer posts directions and campground/motel info. you won't know anymore than you do right now. Hang in there guy's! We really want this thing to go forward

Rammin On, There is a campground close to where I live. It's called Park Away Parks. It's north of York about 13 miles. There phone number is 717-938-1686. We get our gas bottles filled there. Looks like a nice place. Jeff

What to bring?

I guess I'll start the "whatcha bringin' list" by saying that I will bring Potatoe Salad and plates and plastic silverware. You all can add from here! As for 7:30, I don't think that will be any problem Oasis-3, but I better let Hammer determine that when he returns.

I will be bringing my 4 1/2 year old son. He loves trucks and is a bundle of energy. I can bring a gas grill if needed. Will also be bringing some grill food, drinks, chips etc. Looking forward to the get together, should be a great end of summer event.

August looks good for my girlfriend and I. Maybe I can bring along a few friends as well. Keep us posted with details.

 

[Cobra]

I was hoping to bring two of my grandsons. Ages 14 (twins).

These guys think cummins is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I'd be happy to bring something but are we just talking about a picnic. How many people. I can't wait to get with all you guys to talk in person rather than on this high tech machine. I'm almost illiterate with it.

 

[Patriot Diesel]

My wife and I and our five year old may be able to attend. Supposed to be away that weekend, but may be able to change our plans, what will be the charge for the dyno use ?

 

[Hammer]

Man computers are a pain in the butt,,Sorry for the disapearence ,seems like my computer is not very cooperative here lately,,I am on a friends now to drop a quick note to let the ones coming I have NOT forgot about you,but am waiting the return of my tower(will be returned tonite Monday) so I can get this stuff on and up,,Please be patient,I WILL get the info up,,Whish I went to computer school rather than driving truck,at least I could have got mine fixed by now,these repair people are slow and have fowl attitudes,,I did chat with John and he knows what was going on,,Sorry for the inconvience gang.....

Meet is still on!!!!!

I just got off the phone with Hammer. He is in Phoenix and said he will have his computer back this weekend and will post all the information relative to the meet, campgrounds, etc. What compounded the delay was the death and estate settlement of his Aunt ( he says he is still not done settling the estate yet). He apologized for the delay and hopes all will understand. It is time to start posting who is bringing what to eat, cook or cook with so we know what to expect.

 

[**ICEMAN**]

i will bring the chips,dip, pretzels and some other munchies. are we planning on grilling? chicken? hotdogs? etc. if so i'll bring some of them too.
