Well...it's been announced...we will be having another Rotorfest

So plans to do another camptrip are underway...

The campsite this time will be in Jenny Jump state forest. It looks like it'll be the same deal as last years...

- camping with tents is available
- shower and bathroom facilities are available
- its only 10 minutes from the Rotorfest 2005 meet

Those interested please chime in here with your questions and whether or not you would attend from Friday until Sunday or Saturday until Sunday.

I will have more information as the date gets closer...in the meantime check out the pix from last years by clicking the pic below...we had a GREAT time!

 

In.
Fri-Sun ok by me.

 

Nice pictures. Uhh... are widebodies allowed ?

 

Sure..... just as long as you can fit in a tent.

 

^ Oh that was gooood!

 

bwahahaha!

 

I ain't makin breakfast this time.

 

^I'll bring the directions to the stove. Promise.

Oh yeah- I'm not bringing big bertha either. I'm gonna need room for firewood.

 

^ thats cool...can you give me a website where i can order a good tent??

also, with all your experience with camping can you come up with a list of things we need for camping again?

Sterling,

can you bring the sporks again this year?

 

Any Rivers next to the grounds to do some fishing or cannoeing in, or some trails to hike?

 

Edit- oh wait... Different campsite. I don't know the answer to that...

I'm not sure how much of it we'll be able to do since it is only a 2 night camp trip...but who knows...lets just make sure someone brings a football this time...

 

oh man do we have some stories for the new comers

 

I'm in, hopefully for 2 days. As some of you can attest, I need approval from the woman. I can tell you car will be in perfect shape, with new goodies. Hopefully a new suspension! God damn weather!

John

 

Gotta get permission?? I already TOLD my wife I'm gone that weekend!

My car will be the same as last year. No time as of yet to get that Sterling carb running right or replace my blues with Illumina's....

 

LMAO No problem, there. I just noticed from the pics that there were no widebodies, yet an FC slipped into the mix somehow. Musta needed a pivot man. I guess if that's all you got...

Where is this park, anyway ? Do they sell grits there ? See, I ain't from around there, you know ?

 

Bring some grits up with you from GA.
I LOVE grits!

 

Yes widebodies are welcome, the more cars we get the better. I'm praying my project car will finally be done by then and I can drive that. Oh and if they have mountain biking I might stuff my bike in the back of the car too. Make it a Fri-Sun thing, I might not be there the whole time, but most of it. Oh and my house is like 20 mins from there, so if anyone needs to make repairs etc, I've got plenty of tools and space in which to make them. Oh and is anyone gonna bring their wives/girlfriends? I'm not sure I wanna subject mine to you guys

 

to bad my se aint runnin

 

Planning solo here. Maybe Boxer if he wants to tag along.

 

bad news guys i won't be able to make it...i just found out tonight that my sister is getting married and the wedding date is that weekend...i will however be able to catch with you guys at the rotorfest...

with that said...i will continue to plan out the camp trip...make the reservations, organize the lists...if someone wants to take it over though send me a PM...

 

Oh that sucks, Hector!
Tell your sister to wait a week!

 

Booooooo!!! *hiss* Booooooo!!!

 

Damn you guys. Why you have to be so far away? If there's anybody in the Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas area that wants to go tell me, cause I won't go alone, but I'd love to go. Can we crash the wedding Hector?
