This is just an idea I've had. And I'm sure I could not make it in '13. So I'm just throwing this out there.... How about a rally near Lebanon KS, so that the east and west coasters can make an effort to meet each other. Lots of driving for a lot of us, maybe not so much for others Lebanon is the geographic center of the US Lovewell State park is close to there. I know nothing about it. Period. Again, It's all just an idea... kdwpt.state.ks.us/news/State-Parks/Locations/Lovewell

I'd be interested, in fact I want to join you guys in Riverbend but 23hrs in each direction seems like a trail by fire for my trailer!

That should be trial not trail!! Riverbend is happening right during my scheduled break in period! I don't plan on many trips over 200 miles for a while!

I like the meet in the middle idea. I would have a lot to do before the Deluxe is ready for high mileage. Tires, brakes, rear bumper,.......
I'm asking for time for Christmas! I need more time for projects.

24 hours each way and that's at car speeds, figure 30 hours for me. I love you all but I'm not sure I love you all that much.

wow, it would be a haul for most of us (15 car hrs from GA) i suspect but how awesome would that be?! it would have to be planned far in the future like spring 2014, that way people have plenty of time to put in requests for time off of work etc. i'd be game.

I know it's possible. Just not practical. When we went to Northern IN this year, it took two days to get there, and two to get back (kids). W/O kids I could have drove straight through. I think.
Is it tougher come from the west coast because of mountain crossing? I suppose it probably is.
I posted this here as an idea, and maybe some of us can make it happen. And by '14 or '15 I would be able to make it too.

Hamlet would love the trip. We have had him out for three weeks before, and were just starting to think about the possibility of a road trip in '14. KS is a long way from WA, but not a whole lot farther than the Mexican border!

Maybe us Californians can get a big flatbed car trailer to tow our trailers and we can ride in a limo behind drinking frosty beverages........I guess I need to start playing powerball..... Actually tho, this sounds like a fun idea (Kansas)......my 3 kids may kill each other on the way there..(is that so wrong?)....if you plan it flyin..they will come....

IF Spam is ready by then we would be interested! Of course, in her current condition that's a BIG if.

We talked breifly about this at the Riverbend gathering. I would like to get a caravan of vintage trailers from the east together. So far we have 4 trailers interested. Maybe the people from the west could do the same thing.
