Post FLOAT TRIP -- Are You GOING ?

Not wanting to step on any toes here, but....

I am really serious about the float trip, would love to roll through my home town w/ a bunch of 67-72's !!! It is a bout a 30-40 min drive from the campground. I may be able to set something up w/ the locals as far as a photo shoot. I graduated w/ the local newspapers owner. Can see the head lines now !!!!
I only have one request... leave my truck parts honey-holes alone !!
To the guys that originally came-up w/ this idea.. way to go !!
One last request though, if you are PLANNING on attending, please answer-up for these guys (and myself) so they know what to expect.
My trucks NOT show quality, I'm sure some of you guys' will put mine to shame, BUT lets see you try !!
Bring 'em on !!!!


Thanks !!

I will be there for sure! My truck is a daily driver, not even close to show quality. It is only an hour or two from my house. I really hope more people plan to attend, the Current is a beautiful and fun river, and you cant beat a campground full of 67-72's!

Lucas,
Where abouts are you located?

I think your idea is a great one. It would probably be a 10 hour drive for me and the Jimmy, I AM a little leary to say the least, but hopefully by then I will have a few "test runs" on her and will be more comfortable w/ it !!

If not, I'll walk !! SEE you there !!

I am from Willow Springs, MO. The idea wasn't really mine, it was LonghronJeff69's, we just did the research to put it together. I hope more people decide to go. How many know they are attending now?

I will be there unless I "have" to work. It's the last weekend in June, right? I probably won't float, but will be there all day.
