HDT Rally

[Motor31]

Hi there,

I know there are several folks here from the Escapees BBS and HDT forum. I figured that there might be others interested in HDT's that didn't know about the rally this next October. If you are thinking about, interested in or have an HDT and want to get together with others that have them stop by the rally.

Rally info

First week of October 2005. (3rd through the 9th I believe)
Blasi Campground Wichita Kansas


There will be several rigs there and you can see all kinds of models that are being used to tow 5th wheel trailers around the country. The first rally last year was a great time and this year should be the same. We'll be there with the Polar Bear, stop by and have a look.

There's also an East Coast Rally 8-10 July at Lake Raystown Resort in PA.

The Discussion forum on Escapees will have a topic and info for those that might be interested. About 20+ signed up now I think. If interested post here and we'll make sure you get the exact info.

All are welcome!

Boy, I wish I could be at Raystown! Will be at Wichita though. Everyone is welcome and we all love meeting new people, 'cause that's what it's all about!
